Today we celebrate Arbor Day, a time to recognize the importance of trees and the role they play in strengthening our communities, protecting our environment, and beautifying our neighborhoods.
Since its first observance in 1872, Arbor Day has encouraged generations of Americans to plant trees that provide shade, clean air, wildlife habitats, and lasting natural beauty for years to come.
Whether planting a tree, caring for the ones around us, or simply enjoying the outdoors, today is a reminder that even small actions can leave a lasting legacy.

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day
Today, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians who were persecuted and killed during the Armenian Genocide beginning in 1915.

May we remember the victims, support the survivors and their descendants, and renew our commitment to truth, justice, and human dignity.
Never Forget. Never Again.
