#ProLifeSunday Happy Aunts & Uncles Day July 13, 2025

One of the most important lessons to learn from naturalized citizens is how they respect their extended families.  It seems at some point Americans stopped including their extended families in on family get togethers.  Conservatives have kept a family orientated platform and that’s why we’re adding extra family holidays to the ones that are highly commercialized such at Mothers & Fathers Days as well as the often forgotten Grandparents Day.

Since Families are the cornerstone of the Pro Life Movement we have called these Family holidays as #ProLifeSundays.

Aunts & Uncles are very important to the rearing of children. They sometimes do babysitting chores, or they add a bit of understanding to a child’s life their parents are too busy to instruct.

It is important to show your nephews and nieces their parents were once in their shoes.  It’s a loving bridge between generations.

We’ve noticed we only celebrate Moms, Dads, and Grandparents but not anyone else in the Family.  So we’ve added Brothers, Sisters & Cousins Day in August, and we’ve added Friends & Colleagues Day in October.

If we Americans want to have a rich fulfilling life we need to reclaim the extended family.  We admire immigrants who honor the extended family and 1st or 2nd generation families who still give homage and respect to their elders.

So go call your Aunts & Uncles up today and let them know how much they mean to you.

Happy Aunts & Uncles Day!

MISSION & HISTORY

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports and rehabilitation event solely for military veterans. The event demonstrates the unstoppable character of veterans and seeks to foster wider respect and opportunities for all people with disabilities.

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is open to all U.S. veterans with spinal cord injuries, amputations, multiple sclerosis, or other central neurological conditions who require a wheelchair for athletic competition. Every year, hundreds of American heroes from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the post-9/11 era compete in this celebration of sport, courage and camaraderie.

EMPOWERING VETERANS SINCE 1981!

The Department of Veterans Affairs launched the Wheelchair Games in 1981 with 7 events and 77 athletes. Paralyzed Veterans of America joined the VA in 1985 to help expand the event’s mission and reach. The Wheelchair Games has flourished as more VA therapists turn to adaptive sports to help veterans become more active in their lives and communities – and, in some cases, reach higher levels of national and international competition. Over the years, thousands of veterans with disabilities have gained the skills, confidence, and experience to take on challenges in the spirit of opportunity rather than limitation.

The last time Minneapolis hosted the event was in 2005.
