THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER !!!

PAGE 2 FRSA FLASH

Purpose is the power that directs our lives! A life of fulfillment is discovered by searching for

and finding the reason for living. Your life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Too many people

live only a fraction of their potential since they have never found their purpose. Rosa Parks

was a woman who discovered the power that drove her life.

Rosa's recognition of institutional injustice prompted her to take a stand for personal dignity.

She believed that having to give up her seat on a bus because she was black was not right.

The day she took a stand for human rights is recorded in history as the day equality for all

people was highlighted in the United States. Rosa, as a middle aged woman found her pur-

pose.

Determine what really matters in your life. Get in the habit of doing what needs to be done in

order to accomplish the purpose you are resolute about for your life. Then, live your life to its

fullest potential. Like Rosa Parks, your purpose will impact the world around you!

When you hear "Operation Purple camp" you should think: Kids Serve Too! The National Mili-tary Family Association's Operation Purple camps are a time for having fun, making friends, and reminding military kids that they are the Nation's youngest heroes. The Operation Purple program was created in 2004 in response to the call from military par-ents to "help us help our kids." The mission of the Operation Purple program is to empower military children and their families to develop and maintain healthy and connected relation-ships, in spite of the current military environment. We do this through a variety of means, in-cluding the healing and holistic aspect of the natural world. The program is joint or "purple"— and open to children and families of active duty, National Guard or Reserve ser-vice members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or the Commis-sioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and NOAA. Since its creation in 2004, the Operation Purple program has grown to serve approximately 45,000 military children and teens. The Operation Purple program also includes family re-treats at national parks and specialized family camps geared to address the needs of children

and families of our nation’s wounded service members.

The 2012 traditional Operation Purple camp applications are now available! For information about a camp, please view http://www.militaryfamily.org/our-programs/operation-purple/2012-camps/ for the full alphabetical list of camps by state.
