"I have no illusions about what little I can add now

to the silent testimony of those who gave their

lives willingly for their country… Yet, we must try

to honor them—not for their sakes alone, but for

our own. And if words cannot repay the debt we

owe these men, surely with our actions we must

strive to keep faith with them and with the vision

that led them to battle and to final sacrifice."

- Ronald Reagan

Deer Ticks Transmit Lyme Disease.

DUE TO THE WARM WINTER, THE TICK POPULATION IS HIGHER THIS YEAR.

Some Symptoms Of This Disease Include:

• Fever
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Site Rash

PREVENTION:

Use Insect repellent that contains DEET.

(OFF spray pictured here contains 25% Deet, the CDC recommends at least 20%)

Wear long pants when in wooded areas.

Check yourself every night for ticks, especially when camping, or if you have been outdoors for an extended period of time.

Help check a friend for ticks, in places where they can not see.

Clothing treated with permethrin will kill ticks.
