Ten minute infomercial this
week was Jim Samuelson of Home Instead Senior
Care.

seniors locally and is re-
ferred by thousands of health care, medical and social ser-
vice organizations throughout North America. Since 1994,

With more than 78 million Baby Boomers on the verge of retirement, America is facing
monumental social and economic challenges in the ways in which we care for our seniors.
With healthcare concerns at the forefront, and with time and money management a ma-
jor factor for American families in the 21st century, how adult children and seniors can
best prepare and plan for their futures have evolved into a complex process that often
involves misinformation and injects unwanted stress into our most important relation-
ships.
To ease this tension and give much needed guidance to seniors and their adult children
alike, Paul and Lori Hogan, founders of Home Instead Senior Care, the world’s largest
provider of non-medical in-home care for seniors, have taken their experiences as both
family caregivers and senior care professionals and written Stages of Senior Care: Your
Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Best Decisions (November 2009/McGraw-Hill/
$18.95).
Stages of Senior Care serves as a comprehensive guide for the ever-expanding world of
senior care, breaking down the process by addressing the shared concerns of seniors and
their family members. Featuring more than 30 sources from the most credible major
healthcare organizations, universities and nonprofit organizations, the Hogans thoroughly
explain each and every aspect of senior care, including the array of available care choices,
being a caregiver, planning for your own future, aging in place, family and professional care
options, how to chose an option and what to look for, financing care, insurance, legal
matters, dealing with stress, communication and family relations.

Home Instead Senior Care (Cont From Pg. 1 )
Specific chapters are dedicated to inform-
ing families about the many options avail-
able for professional care including senior
centers and adult care centers, non-
medical care at home, medical care at
home, retirement and independent living
communities, assisted living, skilled nursing
homes, and hospice care.
"Senior care options have expanded almost
beyond recognition in the last 20 years, yet
most Americans are still only familiar with
nursing homes or family care at home,"
said Paul Hogan. "In Stages of Senior
Care, we present, fully and fairly, the multi-
tude of options now available while at the
same time helping people hold together
their family and preserve their own well-
being."
Stages of Senior Care is a comprehensive
resource that will help families to provide
the best and most appropriate care for
their loved ones. For more information

Veterans Day is November 11, 2009
History of Veterans Day
World War I – known at the time as ―The Great War‖ - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of
Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when
an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into
effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11,
1918, is generally regarded as the end of ―the war to end all wars.‖
Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostili-ties. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on November 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice
ending World War I went into effect
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armi-
stice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled
with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the
victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"
The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a
brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.
The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent
resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:
Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the re-
sumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and
Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to per-
petuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and
Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the
Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials
to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in
schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.
An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated
to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor
veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Na-
tion’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the vet-
erans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its
place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th
became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first "Veterans Day Proclama-
tion" which stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all
veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this end,
I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee,
which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level
necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Ex-
ecutive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible."
President Eisenhower signing HR7786, changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day. From left: Alvin J. King, Wayne Richards, Arthur J. Connell, John T.
Nation, Edward Rees, Richard L. Trombla, Howard W. Watts
On that same day, the President Eisenhower sent a letter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs (VA), designating him
as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.
In 1958, the White House advised VA's General Counsel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day Na-
tional Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secretary
of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee's chairman. The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal
employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought
that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production.
Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.
The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of
this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R.
Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in
1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and the American
people.
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of
Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veter-
ans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Source: http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp
