PATRIOTIC ART CONTEST submissions due by Sept. 22nd
If you're looking for a historical landmark destination with a unique blend of beauty and outdoor recreation then Lee, Maine might be the destination for you!
House in the Woods Military & Family Retreat in Lee, Maine has announced their plans, in collaboration with the Woody Williams Foundation, to erect the first Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in the state of Maine adding yet another MUST SEE location for visitors to the state of Maine!
Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments are a two-sided tribute made of black granite. One side bears the words: Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, a tribute to Gold Star Families and Relatives who sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom.
The other side tells a story through the four granite panels: Homeland, Family, Patriot, and Sacrifice. At the center of this tribute, is a silhouette of a saluting service member which represents the Legacy of the Loved Ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom. Together, these features tell each community's unique story based on the Pillars of the Foundation.
The Monuments provide a place of permanence for Gold Star Families and their communities, to gather, honor, and remember their fallen Loved Ones, to whom we owe so much.
House in the Woods announced this week a PATRIOTIC ART CONTEST that will run through September 22, 2023. This contest is open to all ages and to anyone across the globe. Entries must be original and may be photos, drawings, or paintings with a theme of SACRIFICES MADE BY OUR GOLD STAR FAMILIES.
The 3rd pillar of the Gold Star Family Memorial is titled “SACRIFICE”, and the team at House in the Woods could use your help in determining what should be shown on that pillar. We all have a passion for our country, our freedom, and our heroes. Don’t be shy, we all have a message to share. You never know, your work might be selected to stand tall on the 1st Gold Star Families Memorial in Maine, for years to come.
Art Contest Rules and entry form can be found at: houseinthewoods.org/artcontest
Additionally, The Library of Congress is interested in potentially adding veteran submissions to its Veterans History Project, where they collect, preserve, and make accessible the firsthand recollections of U.S. military veterans who served in World War I through more recent conflicts and peacekeeping missions, so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did and felt during their service.
House in the Woods is a 501©3 non-profit hosting veterans, active-duty and gold star families on outdoor retreats for healing and camaraderie. It’s is the perfect location for such a memorial and will open its arms to all who would like to visit Maine.
If you’re interested in making a momentary donation towards the building of the WWF Gold Star Families Memorial, donations can be directed to House in the Woods with a memo indicating the Gold Star Families Memorial. The cost of the project is estimated to cost $50,000.00 and will welcome patriots to come to Lee, Maine for healing and camaraderie, from across the globe for years to come.
Groundbreaking is planned for the Spring of 2024 and ribbon cutting in the Fall of 2024.

Mình đánh giá cao cách NEW88 tổ chức các danh mục. Những nội dung có liên quan được đặt gần nhau nên việc tìm kiếm khá thuận tiện, không phải mở nhiều trang mới rồi quay lại liên tục. Cách sắp xếp này đặc biệt hữu ích với người chưa quen website.
nhà cái AO88 có cách trình bày khá hợp mắt mình, chủ yếu vì các khối nội dung được chia ra rõ ràng chứ không dồn hết vào một chỗ. Mình hay ngại mấy trang vừa mở lên đã thấy rối, muốn xem gì cũng phải ngó một hồi mới tìm được. Ở đây thì lướt qua vẫn nhận ra từng phần, nhìn đỡ mệt mắt hơn chút. Mình mới xem sơ thôi, chưa vào kỹ nên cũng chỉ để ý mấy thứ bên ngoài như vậy. Với mình, giao diện không cần cầu kỳ quá, miễn dễ nhìn là đã có thiện cảm rồi. Thanh menu cũng nằm ở vị trí dễ thấy, các mục đặt gần nhau nên…
S8 thấy bạn bè nói hoài nên cũng bấm vào coi thử cho biết. Mình kiểu vào lướt nhanh thôi, không có ngồi đọc dài, chủ yếu xem bố cục có dễ theo dõi không. Vừa mở ra là thấy lịch thi đấu với tỷ lệ kèo trong ngày nằm khá rõ, nhìn cái là biết hôm nay có những trận nào đáng chú ý. Mình thích nhất là có bộ lọc theo ngày với giải đấu, chọn cái là nó gọn lại liền, khỏi phải kéo xuống tìm mệt. Mấy bảng thông tin chia theo từng trận nhìn khá “gọn gàng”, tiêu đề với cột dữ liệu đặt ngay trên cùng một giao diện nên không bị rối mắt.
Saya biasanya memperhatikan angka statistik ketika membaca informasi tentang sebuah platform online. Jumlah anggota bisa memberi gambaran yang lebih jelas mengenai skala sebuah sistem. Saat membaca lebih lanjut tentang KHELOVIP, disebutkan bahwa pada tahun 2025 ada lebih dari 1 juta ID baru yang terdaftar. Total anggota yang diperkenalkan berada di kisaran 7,3 juta. Rata-rata setiap minggu sistem mencatat sekitar 320.000 sesi aktivitas. Selain itu, platform tersebut juga menggunakan keamanan SSL 256bit.
X88 lúc đầu mình cứ nghĩ sẽ giống mấy site mình từng dùng trước đây, mở ra là chữ nghĩa với nút bấm chồng lên nhau nhìn hoa cả mắt, ai dè vào thử thì bố cục lại khá “gọn”, liếc một vòng là định vị được mình đang ở trang nào và phần nào nằm ở đâu. Mình cũng không đào sâu nội dung gì đâu. Chỉ lướt qua giao diện thôi. Cách họ chia thông tin theo từng khối nhìn rõ ràng. Kéo xuống là mỗi phần tách ra mạch lạc. Mấy bảng dạng cột trình bày gọn nên đọc nhanh. Menu để ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển mục cũng lẹ, nhất là kiểu họ nhóm các…
