By Jennifer Mulkey It’s that time of the year again! The day we get to honor and celebrate the flag of our great nation has come! Did you know that the American flag was adopted on June 14th of 1777 by the Second Continental Congress? Many years later in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14th as Flag Day.
Although it is not a federal holiday, National Flag Day was established by President Harry S. Truman in August of 1949. Since 1777, many celebrations and ceremonies have been held in the honor of Old Glory. Many Soldiers and their Families have sacrificed so much for our flag – to include their lives. Without the blood, sweat and tears of these noble people, our flag would just be another piece of fabric.

Our flag flies for those who believed in something greater than themselves. The flag is a constant reminder of the freedoms we enjoy because of the veterans who have served and those who continue to serve. It is their lives that give our American flag wings. One of the honors of being on a Military installation is that we have the opportunity to honor our flag and veterans daily with Reveille at 6:30 a.m. and Retreat at 5 p.m. This is a custom that the Military has practiced since the 1800’s. While the trumpet calls at these times used to be designated to mark the beginning and end to a work day and still is, it is also a time when we stop what we are doing and reflect on those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. This seems to be a custom that some don’t take seriously anymore. Maybe it’s because you don’t hear the trumpets or maybe you just don’t know what to do? Either way, I think it is very important that we model these traditions in front of our children. Respect for our flag is just the beginning of respect to our country and to those who serve. If you are on foot during these times and not wearing the uniform, you should face the flag or the sound of the trumpets, stand at attention and place your right hand over you heart. You should maintain this position until the trumpet stops. If you are driving, you should pull over, stand at attention and place your right hand over your heart until the trumpet stops. Of course, if you are a Soldier in uniform, you must stop, face the flag or music, stand at attention and render the proper salute. This is such a simple thing to do. So please, let’s keep this tradition alive and well here on Fort Knox! Let us show respect to those who have earned it! In doing so, we respect ourselves and the country we represent. I’ll leave you with a quote from Woodrow Wilson. “ A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do, is a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.”

Summer Reading 2016 By Michael Steinmacher Step up to the plate this summer and Read for the Win as part of Barr Memorial Library’s annual Summer Reading program. There are programs and events planned throughout the summer for the whole family; children, teens, and adults. The children and teen programs run June 4 through July 16, while the adult program spans May 2 through July 30. Reading logs for the children’s and teen programs are available beginning June 4 at the Kickoff celebration featuring the Louisville Bats and Buddy Bat. The adult log will be available May 2 in the Library and online. Summer Reading is a fun-filled time of reading, learning, and growing. Children 12 and younger complete the program by reading for a total of 12 hours. Each participant tracks their reading progress in the provided log. Children that complete the program turn in their entry and receive a special Read for the Win prize bag. Along with the prize bag, children are entered in a random drawing for weekly prizes and a grand prize in his/her age group. The age category the children fall into is determined by the age he/she is when the program begins on June 6. Weekly and grand prizes will be awarded for ages 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Children wishing to complete subsequent logs may do so, and each completed log equaling another chance in the grand prize drawing. The reading program is complemented by a variety of entertaining and educational programs including Wednesday morning programs at Devers Middle School and Teen Center that feature a performance by the 2004 and 2005 Bullwhip World Champion Chris Camp, raptor rehabilitation demonstration, and magic show. Preschool Story Hour is offered at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and participation in those programs count towards the child’s reading total. Additionally, children ages 8-12 are
invited to attend weekly Crafternoons on Wednesday afternoons at 3 p.m. with crafts that include washi tape projects, zentangle, and dream catcher creation. The teen program allows teens to read and participate with customizable choices for their summer reading experience. Participants must read any six books and participate in, or accomplish 4 other tasks. Those tasks include additional reading, participating in the weekly STEM programs, or answering the questions of the week. The teen program, ages 13-17, runs the same period as the children’s program and, also like that program, teens completing it will receive a prize bag incentive and have a random chance to win a grand prize, in this case a 7” Galaxy tablet. The more logs teens complete, the more chances he/she has to win the grand prize. The adult program closely resembles the teen program, with adults having a choice in how to complete their program. They can either 1) read 10 books, or 2) read 5 books and participate in five Library programs. Those completing the program will receive a Read for the Win incentive and be entered in a random drawing for a Shuffle Puck 4-in-1 game. For more information about the reading programs, or the special events associated with them, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232.

What do we really know about Post-traumatic stress disorder… According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a terrifying event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. It affects a person’s mood with the inability to feel pleasure, guilt or loneliness. Contrary to common belief, PTSD goes far beyond the Battlefield and it is not limited to Military Service Members who have been to war. Anyone can have PTSD - from being involved in an auto accident, being assaulted, losing a partner or a child, or surviving a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or flood. PTSD is considered very common illness, more than 3 million cases are diagnosed per year in the U.S., and with 8 million suffering from it at any given time tells us that treatment does work and that patients get better. Symptoms of PTSD may disrupt your life and it can make it hard to go on with your normal daily activities. There are four types of PTSD symptoms: 1-Reliving the event (re-experiencing symptoms) Memories of the event and the same feeling of fear and horror you felt when it took place, may come back at any time. a) b) c)
You may have nightmares. You may feel like you are going through the event again – “flashback”. You may see, hear, or smell something that caused you to relive the event – “trigger”. News reports, seeing an accident, or hearing a car backfire are examples of triggers.
2-Avoiding situations that remind you of the event You may try to avoid situations or people that trigger memories of the traumatic event. You may even avoid talking or thinking about the event. a) You may avoid crowds, because they feel dangerous. b) You may avoid driving if you were in a car accident or if your Military convoy was bombed. c) If you were in an earthquake, you may avoid watching movies about earthquakes. d) You may keep very busy or avoid seeking help because it keeps you from having to think or talk about the events. 3-Negative changes in beliefs and feelings The way you think about yourself and others changes because of the trauma. This symptom has many aspects, including the following: a) b) c)
You may not have positive or loving feelings toward other people and may stay away from relationships. You may forget about parts of the traumatic event or not be able to talk about them. You may think the world is completely dangerous, and no one can be trusted.

www.
4-Feeling keyed up (hyper arousal) You may be jittery, or always alert and on the lookout for danger. You might suddenly become angry or irritable. This is known as hyper arousal. a) b) c) d)
You may have a hard time sleeping. You may have trouble concentrating. You may be startled by a loud noise or surprise. You might want to have your back to a wall in a restaurant or waiting room.
The National Center for PTSD states that trauma survivors who take a direct action to cope with their stress reactions, put themselves in a position of power. Active coping means accepting the impact of trauma on one’s life and taking direct action to improve things and start the recovery and healing process. It occurs when there is no crisis and it is a way of responding to everyday life. Active coping is a habit that must be made stronger! Understand that recovering and healing from the trauma is a process and it takes time, little by little each day. It doesn’t mean forgetting traumatic events; it doesn’t mean there will be no pain or bad feelings when thinking about them. Healing may mean fewer symptoms, and more confidence that you will be able to manage your feelings. Learn more about trauma and PTSD –Go to www.ptsd.va.gov/apps/AboutFace/Index - AboutFace was produced by the VA’s National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and it’s dedicated to improving the lives of Veterans with PTSD, watch personal testaments from Veterans, Clinicians and Families who live with it every day. Hear their stories, find out how treatment turned their lives around, take the mystery out of PTSD treatment and learn how getting treatment also helps the ones you love.

Resiliency and the Military Child “Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit,” ~Bernard Williams. The strength of the human spirit is remarkable. Specifically, seeing children’s resiliency is astonishing. The Military Child is an exemplary example of resilience. Military Children are resilient. There are many stressors that Military Children have to endure. Some of those stressors are frequent relocation, adapting to new educational settings, and new relationships. Often though, the most difficult stressor to deal with is deployment and reintegration. These are additional hurdles to the normal stressors that life gives each of us individually on our journey through childhood and adolescence. Resiliency is in all of us. However, like most things that are good for us, sometimes we have to work for them. This is true in fostering resiliency in our children. There are three categories of “protective factors” that can be categorized. These factors are having caring and supportive relationships, high and positive expectations, and opportunities for meaningful participation. To instill these factors, and offer support to encourage resilience, helps build a skill that a child will have throughout his/her life. Edith Golberg’s book, A Guide to Promoting Resilience in Children: Strengthening the Human Spirit, breaks these three factors down in a very understandable way. She identifies the three factors down to “I” factors: I have, I am, and I can. A child recognizes they have loved ones that care and support them. The child understands I am loveable, loving, and proud and filled with hope. Then lastly, a child knows I can communicate, problem-solve and manage my feelings. Having at least one caring and loving person is probably the most important factor in creating resiliency. From this all other factors are possible. Some simple things that love and support offer are helping to provide healthy development and
learning. This creates the ability for a child to hit developmental milestones, as well as encourages learning. Having good learning skills teaches us that there is more than one way to solve a problem. When working with children, you can see the children who only have one way to handle a situation. For example, a child screams and acts aggressively as the only way to deal with his/her feeling of sadness. It is just as important to face our feelings of sadness, or any feeling, with different strategies, as it is a hard homework problem. It is also letting a child know they are not alone in facing adversity or a struggle. That way, they know they have loved ones that are there to help along the way. Once it is established that a child has loving support, it’s important to move to having positive and high expectations. These are important factors with creating resiliency in children. High expectations lets us know that we do not have to settle. It’s an understanding and esteem that says I am worthy and I am capable. This includes a positive attitude about what a child can achieve. As cliché as this is, the ability to see the glass as half full helps to see the silver lining in the tough stuff that life throws our way. When learning any new skill, we need to practice it. The opportunity for meaningful participation is the practice of resilience. It is important for children to learn and practice skills with caregivers as a safety net. It’s taking the training wheels off the bike and letting a child ride knowing that you are there if she/he falls. This also allows children to solve problems and create more independence. This gives them the ‘I can’ in building resiliency. Recognizing ‘I can’ manage my feelings, communicate, and problem-solve. The three factors in supporting resiliency in children are not rocket science. It’s the simple things in life that help to make the human spirit so resilient. Creating resilient children means resilient adults, and those are successful adults.

Too Much Sun is No Fun! by Jenelle Grewell
When I was younger, my mother used to tell me my freckles were “angel kisses� and while this helped me learn to be confident in them, as I got older I learned just how much more susceptible I am to sun damage. I was a lifeguard for many, many years so sun safety is something I know a lot about and I cannot stress enough just how important it is to take the right steps to prevent sun damage.
