The
roles our mothers have played in creating a beautiful and vibrant community
cannot be overstated. Beyond their own careers and successes, their love
and attention can be seen throughout our communities in the quality and success
of our youth.
This
important tradition started back in 1914 when the U.S. Congress designated the
second Sunday in May each year as "Mother's Day." That year, President
Woodrow Wilson declared the first official U.S. Mother's Day - then designated
an official legal holiday.
On
this special day, we also must remember and thank the mothers whose sons and
daughters are serving in our nation's armed services. Please also remember the
mothers who shoulder the burden as a single parent as their loved one serves
our great county.
Happy
Mother's Day!
