Mama & Baby Bus, Veteran's Day, Suicide Prevention

Prince George's County Maryland sent this bulletin at 11/13/2017 07:00 AM EST

"Prince George’s County is home to nearly 70,000 veterans and I salute each one, along with all veterans across this State and nation who have served this country. Thanks to their service, our lives are free, safe and protected. It is with tremendous gratitude and pride that we honor them on this day. I encourage all Prince Georgians to take the time to say ‘thank you’ to a veteran and show support for all they have done in service for us.

On Veterans’ Day last week, Prince George’s County finds itself in the middle of a unique judicial case over one of the County’s most historic landmarks - the Peace Cross in Bladensburg, MD – a 40 foot high monument that was erected to honor 49 men from Prince George’s County who lost their lives in World War I. Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit said the memorial “has the primary effect of endorsing religion and excessively entangles the government in religion.”
