Look At Sarah Palin Wrist, Not Her Hand Notes

A Yale IR grad student and veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, doesn’t give a hoot about what Sarah Palin had written on her hand at her Tea Party Convention speech. He is, however, concerned about what was on her wrist.
I hadn’t noticed it until I watched MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Tuesday, but it is a memorial bracelet; something familiar to veterans who have lost friends and family in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wear one commemorating a friend of mine who died in Baghdad in October of 2006, and I know many other veterans — and some still in the armed forces — who wear these bracelets as a reminder of the sacrifices their friends made on behalf of the units in which they served and the country they swore to protect.
There are many ways to commemorate soldiers; the reminders are everywhere. Yellow ribbons (or their magnetic counterparts) adorn cars and, occasionally, homes. Lapel pins and service flags — blue stars on a white background framed by a red border — grace the coats and homes of those with family members deployed at a war zone. As you might recall, Sarah Palin and Vice President Joe Biden both wore pins during the 2008 campaign. My parents displayed a double blue star during the holidays of 2008 when I was serving in Afghanistan and my brother was an Army officer in Iraq.
And for some soldiers, there is the gold star. It remains on the same white field and the flag has the same outline, but a gold star represents a family member killed in action — the most significant sacrifice one can make on behalf of their country.
This brings me back to my issue with Palin. The name on her black memorial bracelet — one, like the gold star, a demonstration of a friend or associate who was killed in action — is that of her oldest son, Track. Track served honorably in Iraq, and both he and his parents should be thanked for his selfless service to his country. He is also alive.
Commemorating Track’s service by wearing a a black memorial bracelet which is reserved for those dead or even a red bracelet for those missing in action, demonstrates a horrifying contempt for those who gave their last full measure of devotion or an almost unbelievable ignorance of the importance of symbols in American history.
Unfortunately, given Palin’s reputation and frequent public statements, I assume it is the latter.
Sarah Palin, please take off the bracelet. Be thankful you have no reason to wear it.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Using Wristbands as A Symbol of Hope

Send The Message to Stay Strong

Cancer wristbands made their first appearance in 2004 when Lance Armstrong debuted the now infamous yellow LIVESTRONG cancer wristbands. These wristbands served—and still serve—as a symbol of hope and shed light on the fight against testicular cancer.

The yellow LIVESTRONG cancer wristband may be a simple idea, but it is a powerful one—so powerful that it has spread to bring attention to other forms of cancer, including:

·         Bladder cancer, childhood cancer and liver cancer are also represented with yellow cancer wristbands

·         Metastatic breast cancer and skin cancer, represented with black cancer wristbands

·         bowel cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and rectal cancer, represented with blue cancer wristbands

·         Liver cancer, represented with light blue cancer wristbands

·         Kidney cancer, represented with orange cancer wristbands

·         Breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, represented with pink cancer wristbands

·         Neck cancer, represented with red cancer wristbands

·         Bone cancer and head and neck cancer, represented with white cancer wristbands

·         Cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, gynecological cancer and uterine cancer, represented with teal cancer wristbands

·         Brain cancer, represented with grey cancer wristbands

·         General cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, and thyroid cancer represented with purple cancer wristbands

Purple cancer wristbands can also represent cancer survivors. Additionally, it is the selected color for Relay for Life—the main volunteer-driven cancer fundraising event of the American Cancer Society.

Since cancer wristbands are intended for long-term wear, they are extremely durable and comfortable. The come in a few different styles:

·         Embossed silicone

·         Debossed silicone

·         Screen printed silicone

To really inspire, motivate and spread the word about cancer, you can include a message on cancer wristbands, by embosssing, debossing or screen printing onto cancer wristbands:

·        “Fear Nothing”

·         “Fight Like a Girl”

·         “Courage”

·         “Feel the Power”

·         “Live Free, Smoke Free”

·         “I survived”

·         “Cancer sucks”

There are a variety of ways to effectively put cancer wristbands to use. One way is to host a fundraising event. Maybe there is a specific type of cancer for which you’d like to raise funds. Give a cancer wristband to every guest who makes a donation of $10 or more. Another idea is to organize a walk/run to raise money. Distribute cancer wristbands to every participant who raises a minimum of $20. You could have an online donation drive, too. Anyone who makes a donation online of $25 or more receives a cancer wristband.

Sadly, most of us know someone fighting cancer. Cancer wristbands can raise awareness of one particular person who is fighting for his or her life. Cancer treatment is outrageously expensive. An effective way for family and friends to raise money to help cover the medical expenses of a cancer patient is to host an auction within the community—raising awareness, hope AND funds. Cancer wristbands can be embossed, debossed or screen printed with the name of the person fighting cancer, along with the word, “Hope”. These can be given as a thank you gift: Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for helping me in this terrifying fight against cancer. Thank you for helping me beat cancer and kick it to the curb!

Wearing cancer wristbands offers both support and strength to the person who is fighting cancer. It makes all the difference in the world to know that people care. There is strength in numbers. The support of a community can empower and individual. It’s a powerful contributor toward healing.

When someone we love is fighting cancer, most of us feel helpless. Wearing a cancer wristband with the name of our loved one on it can make us feel like we are making a difference—as small as it may be. When it comes to cancer, everyone wishes they could do more. Wearing a cancer wristband brings awareness to all who see it. It may catch the eye of a stranger who decides to ask about it to appease his or her curiosity. When you explain about your family member who has cancer, they may feel moved enough to make a donation or wear his or her own cancer wristband. Maybe they know someone who is fighting for their life, too. Maybe the two of you can find a support system with one another.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to raise awareness of cancer and a highly effective fundraising tool, cancer wristbands might just be the answer. Cancer wristbands are a fashion accessory that symbolizes hope for a cure.

Keep Kids Safe with Day Care Child Identification

There are as many reasons why people take their children to day care as there are children who attend day care. Many working parents don’t have a choice. Some parents enroll their children to prepare them for elementary school. They want their child to develop social skills and learning skills. Placing one’s child in the care of another person is a risk. Nothing matters more to a parent than their child’s safety, security and health. Kids wristbands can help keep kids safe.

Secure, durable and tear-resistant kids wristbands come in one size fits all. They have a strong adhesive closer and unique tamper cuts, which cause the wristbands to shred if tampered with. Kids wristbands can withstand the wear and tear of the roughest, toughest play in a child’s day.

Children’s eyes light up and they get excited when they see the bright colors and fun designs of kids wristbands. When parents arrive at their trusted day care to drop off their child for the day, parents can write their child’s name, their own name and the emergency phone number where they can be reached that day on pre-printed lines in permanent marker right onto a kid wristband, and then securely fasten it around their child’s wrist. This information can enable day care providers to do their job more effectively and efficiently if there happens to be any sort of emergency that day.

Children fall ill. That’s just a fact of life. When this happens, especially if it is a contagious virus, it is best to have the child picked up from the day care center by his or her parents—sooner, rather than later—in order prevent other children from getting sick. Kids wristbands make it easy for teachers and nurses to identify the child. If it is determined that it would be best for the child to go home, then the parents’ names and contact information is readily available.

The same holds true for accidents. Children are certainly not strangers to cuts and scrapes. It may not be necessary to contact parents for a minor paper cut, but most injuries—especially those resulting in blood, bumps or black and blue marks—require notifying parents. Some might require medical care. These are times when it is critical for having child identification. Kids wristbands can save the day in these situations.

ID bracelets are tear-proof, sweat-proof, smear-proof, and water-resistant

In addition to having both the child’s and parents’ names, along with emergency contact number, kids wristbands can also be color coded. Each color can represent a specific special need, such as medication allergies, food allergies, dietary needs or restrictions, and the like. As an example, nut allergies could be represented with a red kids wristband. The specific allergy can also be written on the kids wristband, “Allergy: Nuts.” Each day, care takers can check kids wristbands and take inventory of allergies. In the instance of a nut allergies, the care takers can ensure that nuts—an allergy with severe reactions—are prohibited from being in that child’s activity room or classroom.

If there is a medical emergency and a child needs to be transported to urgent care or an emergency room, kids wristband can be extremely helpful to healthcare professionals. Maybe yellow kids wristbands represent special medical needs or medication allergies. A care taker can point out the kids wristband to the healthcare professionals. Any specific conditions or allergies can be written right onto the kids wristband. Doing so can prevent adverse reactions to care—maybe even save the child’s life.

Another way that kids wristbands protect children is identification if they should get lost. Of course, no one ever plans on this happening, but when there is a large group of kids out on a field trip, these things do happen. Let’s say the day care plans a day at the zoo. Distributing kids wristbands with a colorful design can make safety fun for kids. Each kids wristband should have the child’s name, along with the chaperone’s, and the cell phone number where the chaperone can be reached onsite. Chaperone’s can point out security staff to kids, so they know exactly who to ask for help if they happen to get lost. It might be a good idea to introduce the children to one of the security staff. This will help make these authoritative figures more approachable to the shyer children.

Kids wristbands are an excellent aid for keeping children safe in a variety of ways. You just can beat the sense of security that kids wristbands provide.
