FRSA Flash 15 June

1. Happy Father’s Day!
Hooray for Dads Everywhere! Today’s father’s
RiverFest MountainFest
cook, clean the house, kiss boo-boos and help
children with homework. The days of waiting
safety in the waiting room of the hospital while
the wife gives birth are over. You have come a
long way!
Thank you Soldier Dad’s for all your hard work!
While the Soldier Dad is away for long periods of
time, you find ways to keep that connection to
your children-and to stay close to their hearts.
Your strength and your courage set a wonderful
example for your children. So Families while your
Soldier-Dad is home, be sure to appreciate them
fully-why not serve Dad breakfast in bed on
Father’s Day?
