For the new babies born and the friends and loved ones lost, let’s all take a moment to think of each. We here at MVP Law Group would hope that everyone has a wonderful and prosperous new year!

In the United States, Veterans Day is a national holiday which is observed every November 11th. This holiday is set aside to honor all who have served in the U.S. Military.

Each of us that work every day, immigrant or citizen, this is our celebration!

New Citizens – Stories
“Immigrants signed their names to our Declaration and helped win our independence. Immigrants helped lay the railroads and build our cities, calloused hand by calloused hand. Immigrants took up arms to preserve our union, to defeat fascism, and to win a Cold War. Immigrants and their descendants helped pioneer new industries and fuel our Information Age, from Google to the iPhone. So the story of immigrants in America isn’t a story of “them,” it’s a story of “us.” It’s who we are. And now, all of you get to write the next chapter.” – President Barack Obama

No matter what your plans are for this Fourth of July, make it a memorable day by spending time with your family and friends. Have a picnic, go to the fireworks, watch a parade or just celebrate with a quiet moment. Please remember those brave men and women who gave their lives to defend our country and its freedoms.
On this day 75 years ago, my Grandfather, at age 18, was driving a Naval Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) landing United States soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. He made many trips that day until he was finally wounded. He recovered and was then sent to the South Pacific Islands to continue the war until he returned home.
Thank you to all the soldiers who fought and died on that day, 75 years ago!
We live free because of your sacrifices!
Presidents’ Day was established by the U.S. government in 1885 to honor the birthday date of our first President, George Washington. The official name for the holiday is still “Washington’s Birthday”. Washington’s Birthday is really February 22nd, but this federal holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of February, it extents the holiday weekend!
