What if you could help your community as a nonprofit volunteer at a place where your unique talents and skills are needed, valued, and appreciated?
Give 5 is a FREE program for Taney and Stone County residents to learn more about the area's leading nonprofits and choose where they want to connect and contribute their free time. It's called Give 5, because all you have to contribute is FIVE HOURS of your time per month to make a big, positive difference in your community.

Thoughts about Memorial Day borrowed from www.BuildersMovement.org

More Than “Thank You for Your Service”
Jay, a veteran from Tennessee, put it plainly: “This is a day to pause and remember all the real heroes of the last 250 years who have gone and fought for the freedoms we enjoy, that made the ultimate sacrifice for freedoms that they were never truly able to see come to fruition.”

Think about that for a second. The men and women we’re remembering today never got to see the country they died to protect fully realized. They gave everything for an ideal still in progress.

The Real Work of Honoring the Fallen
Jake, a veteran from Wisconsin, was direct about what it means to take Memorial Day to heart: “The best way we could ever honor that sacrifice is to leave a better America for future generations. That work can only be completed together, as Americans.”

Together. As Americans.

The people Jay and Jake are remembering today fought for the possibility of a country that keeps getting better. Honoring them means making that possibility real.
