(PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Officials say it's wise to be particular when hiring a company for pressure washing San Jose.

Managers and owners of large projects need to thoroughly screen companies they contract with for pressure washing San Jose. Araya Clean officials warn that, in some cases, fines can total up to $50,000 for not following proper procedures.

The state of California has laid down strict guidelines for the recycling or disposing of run-off water. Managers of projects such as apartment buildings, hospitals and office buildings need to ensure the company they hire handles all aspects of pressure washing San Jose in a professional and eco-friendly way.

According to Araya Clean officials, their five-stage recycling process reclaims and reuses all run-off water in compliance with the EPA Clean Water Act. It also conforms to all local regulations, protecting managers and property owners from possible penalties.

And it's administered by highly-trained, professional Araya Clean technicians.

Details are available at: http://www.pressurewashingsanjose.com.

Araya Clean officials say their technicians pressure wash properties as large as car dealerships, hospitals, apartment complexes and retail shopping areas.

"We do small jobs, too. But very few jobs are too large for us," they say.

It's no secret that prospective tenants and customers of apartment complexes and retail shopping areas are attracted to clean facilities. When pressure washing San Jose, Araya Clean technicians clean entrance ways, sidewalks, hallways and the entire grounds. They pressure wash areas from parking lots to roofs, and from windows and doorways to sidewalks.

Company officials say pressure washing San Jose includes graffiti and gum removal and removal of bird droppings, oils and rust and stains.

More information on Araya Clean and its eco-friendly methods of pressure washing San Jose is available by calling 408-903-4150, or visiting www.pressurewashingsanjose.com.

About Araya Clean: Araya Clean Property Services is a professional pressure washer that specializes in pressure washing, power washing, graffiti removal, exterior paint preparation, striping removal, concrete cleaning, exterior building cleaning and water reclaim/reclamation. The company is recognized as a Stormwater Compliant Pressure Washer. They are registered to do business with the federal government and are a Certified Small Business with the state of California.

Education is a vital part of his service and he is making a positive difference for his neighbors as he provides tips to make clothes dryer safer and more energy efficient

Canton MI  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- The Dryer Vent Cleaning Canton Wizard is active in his community as he works to make clothes dryers safer and more energy efficient while educating consumers about the importance of dryer maintenance. Many of his customers saw him at the Canton Home Improvement Expo where they learned more about the function of their dryer vent system.

Larry Butterfield, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, is a force for neighborhood safety as his main focus is on preventing dryer fires and other dryer related hazards. Poorly vented clothes dryers cost more money to operate and they can lead to several problems like mold and mildew damage and carbon monoxide with gas dryers.

The Canton Home Improvement Expo was a great success with how-to workshops on a variety of topics, guest appearances from Murray Gula, Host of 'Your Home with Murray Gula' and Joe Gagnon, 'The Appliance Doctor,' from 1600 WAAM. The expo also featured children's hand-on projects, live demonstrations and multiple raffles.

Larry Butterfield addressed a little known hazard that exists in over 80 percent of American homes...the clothes dryer. When it is properly installed and well maintained, the dryer is a wonderful convenience, but a poorly vented dryer can lead to several home hazards. The most devastating, yet frequently occurring hazard is a dryer fire. Over 17,000 dryer fires are reported annually; yet, they are so easy to prevent with proper dryer and dryer vent maintenance.

Education is a vital part of the service by Dryer Vent Wizard and Larry makes sure his customers understand the importance of dryer vent maintenance. Customers enjoy the highest quality service and tips that help keep their family safe and save on energy bills. The Wizard's commitment is to educate the public of the hazards associated with poorly vented dryers while he provides an important home service.

Dryer Vent Wizard provides commercial and residential dryer vent service, dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. Larry Butterfield serves southeast Michigan, Canton, Livonia, Plymouth and nearby cities. Visit http://dryerventcleaningcantonmi.blogspot.com/ to learn more.

The removable lint screen is a critical safety feature and energy saver

Livonia MI  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- The Dryer Vent Cleaning Livonia Wizard informs his customers that proper dryer maintenance is necessary for safety as well as energy savings and dryer care. Keeping the dryer vent clean saves energy, improves dryer performance, extends dryer life, and most important, prevents dryer fires.

Larry Butterfield, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard combines service with education to promote dryer safety and energy savings. His customers appreciate his attention to detail and genuine concern for their safety as he provides an important home service and offers tips to prevent dryer fires.

Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. Improper dryer vent installation or use of inferior dryer duct material can also be hazardous. Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard are especially concerned with people using the vinyl, plastic or flexible foil dryer ducts. Another concern is in older homes where the dryer vent leads into the crawlspace under the home.

Butterfield makes sure his customers understand that the clothes dryer is one of the most likely appliances to cause a fire and one of the biggest energy users in the home. Most new dryer models have a moisture sensor that will automatically turn the dryer off when clothes are dry. This prevents over drying which can damage clothing and waste energy. Of course, the dryer is only as efficient as the user, so even older models without the auto-dry sensor can be operated more efficiently by adapting the following tips:

Dry full loads or reduce drying time for partial loads. Operating a dryer for an extra 15 minutes per load can cause damage to clothing and waste energy.

Clean the lint trap after every load. Dryers work by moving heated air through wet laundry, evaporating and then venting the vapor outdoors. If the lint screen is full, airflow is reduced and clothes will take longer to dry.

Have a complete dryer vent inspection performed by a qualified dryer vent service technician to ensure it is properly installed according to current safety standards.

Schedule dryer vent cleaning service periodically to remove lint accumulation in the dryer duct and dryer cabinet to eliminate a fire hazard and improve dryer performance.

Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to prevent dryer fires and save energy. A poorly vented clothes dryer can cost an additional $300 per year to operate. Poorly vented gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat.

Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent service, dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. Larry Butterfield serves southeast Michigan neighborhoods, Plymouth, Canton, Livonia and surrounding communities. Visit http://dryerventcleaninglivoniami.blogspot.com/ to learn more.

(PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- The Charleston School of Law students and faculty has gladly received the Sprout HealthyVending machines placed throughout their campus by local owner and operator, Neil Holtzhausen.

With four machines on the campus, they can easily access a variety of healthy snacks and beverages. According to Holtzhausen, the most popular machine is located in the campus library among a few other vending machines with traditional, less-healthy snacks in them.

When choosing locations for his machines, Holtzhausen saw the Charleston School of Law (and its library) as a perfect location. "The students and faculty seem to be pretty well educated on the importance of eating healthy foods. The library is open seven days a week and it has long hours. Students need to refuel when studying, and that's why it's important to provide nutritious snacks," Neil says.

Upon the arrival of the machines, Neil decided to host an informal sampling event, where he allowed students and faculty to try the snacks and drinks that would be offered in the Sprout machines. "People were definitely receptive. They didn't know some of the snacks and products so it was a pretty good opportunity for them to try them. For example, they had never seen a Steaz drink before, and now I sell a lot of the Steaz Pomegranate Tea," explains Holtzhousen.

Neil's healthy vending business at Charleston School of Law took off immediately and has continued to be a success. Working independently, he maintains and refills his machines multiple times a week. In addition to the financial evidence of success, Neil has also received positive feedback from the school administration and the students, themselves. "The manager of the school's buildings sent me an e-mail a few months ago showing me a discussion the students were having on the School of Law's Facebook page. They were amazed that you can get San Pellegrino in a vending machine."

Holtzhousen reports that Angie's Popcorn is the most popular snack among his vending customers, and that water is the most purchased beverage. "These are popular because they're not heavy, and they don't make the students lethargic," explains Neil. "I received requests to sell a healthy energy drink because the vending machine next to mine sells Red Bull and they were looking for a healthy option. Now I sell Steaz Energy Drinks."

Neil has made an effort to cater to the needs of his customers, and in turn has established both a profitable and rewarding business. He plans to purchase another four executive machines in the second half of this year, and to expand his target locations beyond schools to instill healthy eating habits within his community.

Minneapolis, MN  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Twin Cities Home Security has selected Protect America as their residential alarm monitoring business winner for 2012.

Lee Arthur, senior editor for Twin Cities Home Security states, "Protect America is a valuable resource that helps homeowners protect their properties and keep the burglars away. Advanced systems like those provided through Protect America can substantially reduce theft and property crimes in our area."

Arthur continued to say that while most Twin Cities residents believe their suburb to be a relatively safe place to live, FBI crime statistics state otherwise. According to Arthur, the national crime statistics show Minneapolis to have a crime index number of 5, meaning that Minneapolis is safer than only 5% of the other cities in the United States.

"Many of the home robberies that occur in the US happen because of the lack of a quality home security system," said Arthur, "So while it's important to get a real good system, it's also important to most homeowners to get the best bang for their buck, to get an up-to-date system at the best price possible."

Arthur said that the typical system comes with a couple of door sensors, multiple window sensors, a motion detector, a wireless control panel, an internal siren, one-button arming, window decals and a yard sign. Remote activation and deactivation features, cameras, heat sensors, water spill sensors and other options are available as well.

About Protect America
Protect America offers wireless home security systems that carry a lifetime warranty along with several options for alarm monitoring. For more information on the Protect America products and services, you can call Protect America at 888-873-5025.

Garcinia Cambogia Select - Exotic Fruit Extract Curbs Hunger To Enhance Weight Loss

(PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Garcinia Cambogia Select is a phenomenal weight loss supplement which helps a person lose weight even if they don't follow a specific diet and exercise plan. It is made from the Garcinia Cambogia extract, a fruit which originates in Indonesia but also found in India and other South East Asian countries. The Garcinia Cambogia is a small pumpkin shaped fruit, also called tamarind. The rind of the Garcinia fruit is used to extract the benefits of weight loss. The core ingredient of Garcinia Cambogia extract is HCA or Hydroxycitric acid. This acid is proved to increase or enhance the weight loss process two or three times. With proper weight reducing diet plan and exercise, the extract can help a person lose upto an average of 4 pounds in a month.

Garcinia Cambogia extract has been popular in the weight loss arena ever since its benefits were discussed on the famous doctor's Show. Aired on the celebrity health expert's program, the two celebrity doctors discussed the positive impact of Garcinia Cambogia on weight loss mechanism of the body. She said that the extract in the form of capsules should have at least 50 percent of HCA for the extract to work effectively. Also the extract from the fruit contains a high level of Potassium which enables the extract to be absorbed by the body.

Missy was one of the people who had successfully tried the extract and said that she lost 10 pounds in 4 months. Missy said that she experienced results within the first 7 to 10 days and felt lesser food cravings and the extract especially helped curb her sugar cravings. Dr. cited that Missy experienced such results because of the release of Serotonin, a chemical in the brain which curbs hunger and makes a person feel good about themselves. Serotonin also creates better immunity, higher levels of energy and sleeping patterns.

The supplement is recommended to be taken twice, once before breakfast and one before lunch, preferably 30 minutes before eating. The capsules contain a small amount of caffeine therefore it is advised to cut back on caffeinated foods and beverages. Diabetic people should not consume Garcinia Cambogia Select as it drastically lowers blood sugar. Pregnant and breast feeding women should not use dietary supplements as they are not backed by FDA evidence.

All appliances require maintenance to ensure efficiency and longevity but some maintenance tasks are necessary to avoid safety hazards

Downers Grove IL  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Service by the Downers Grove Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard eliminates a fire hazard while enhancing dryer performance. Poorly vented clothes dryers can lead to several problems, increased energy bills, mold and mildew damage and wear and tear on the appliance and clothing. Gas dryers must be properly vented to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. All dryers require good ventilation to eliminate a fire hazard.

Joe Enzenberger, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard enjoys building positive relationships with his customers as he provides them with valuable information about dryer safety and performance. Joe visits his customers on a regular basis to provide worry free dryer vent maintenance service. Since they are already well educated about their clothes dryer, he offers tips on preventing other appliance related hazards.

Clothes dryers are the main focus of Dryer Vent Wizard but service technician will also replace old washing machine hoses with flexible stainless steel braided hoses to prevent water loss and damage should they burst. Other tips offered by the Wizard to prevent appliance hazards include:

Avoid placing metal or foil in the microwave as it can cause a fire and damage the appliance. Clean up splatters and spills immediately.

Newer gas stoves with electronic burner lighters rather than standing pilots require cleaning to keep them working. If the burner does not light right away, turn it off and wait for the gas to dissipate before trying again. Just a small amount of unlit gas can explode.

Toasters and toaster ovens need to be cleaned often because as dry bread crumbs build up, they can be flammable.

According to Enzenberger, many home appliances have hidden hazards that people need to be aware of. Proper cleaning and maintenance is the key to appliance safety and performance. Most appliances will last longer, work better and use less energy when properly installed and maintained. Some appliance maintenance tasks, including dryer vent cleaning, are necessary to avoid safety hazards.

Dryer Vent Wizard provides professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service to keep clothes dryers operating safely and efficiently. Joe Enzenberger serves residents and business owners in Downers Grove, Orland Park, Tinley Park and nearby cities and communities.

An innovative No-Pest Dryer Vent keeps bugs and critters from getting in while allowing heat and moisture to escape

Naperville IL  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- The Naperville Dryer Vent Installation Wizard is ready for spring time weather. Along with the great weather comes bugs and rodents which people work hard to keep out of their home. Joe Enzenberger, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard eliminates a little-known source of household pests. Many people would not even think about the dryer vent as a way in for birds, bees and mice.

Lint accumulation is not the only issue with dryer vents. Small animals, including birds, bees, bugs and rodents, find the warm, moist area inviting as they move in and set up housekeeping. Their nesting material adds to problem, restricting airflow and leading to a fire hazard. Regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service is the solution to this problem.

Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.WillCountyIL.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) provides professional dryer vent installation, cleaning and repair while educating customers about dryer fire prevention and energy savings. Customers are often surprised at what the Wizard finds in their dryer ducts. Any obstruction in the dryer vent will cause the dryer to work harder and longer to do its job.

The Wizard has noticed that many homeowners will cover the outside dryer vent opening with a screen to prevent bugs and rodents from getting in. Though this may sound like a good idea, it can create a fire hazard as it allows dust and lint to collect and block air flow. Dryer Vent Installation by the Wizard eliminates keeps critters from getting in while allowing heat and moisture to escape effectively.

The No-Pest Dryer Vent installed by the Wizard closes up tight when not in operation, to keep bugs and critters out; and opens when the dryer is running to provide air flow and allow heat and moisture to escape.

Dryer Vent Wizard is the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning and installation franchises in the U.S. Joe Enzenberger serves homes and businesses in the Greater Chicago area, including Cook, Dupage, Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall and Will Counties.

DENVER, Colorado (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- For anyone who has ever dragged their heels on a pressing task, or dawdled with a deadline looming, it's probably not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. In her latest blog titled, "Resourceful Self-Distraction: Is There a "Good" Kind of Procrastination?" time management and productivity expert Laura Stack asks her readers why they procrastinate.

Often, Stack says, it boils down to one of a few common issues: feeling overwhelmed, fearing failure, or disliking the task.

Another form of procrastination Stack mentions involves putting off tasks out of fear of finishing them too soon, because running out of work too soon can often have implications. This happens most often in jobs that continue only as long as the work lasts, Stack says, like construction or temporary positions, although it's a risk any time a worker's future seems uncertain. When jobs are scarce, this mindset can become more apparent in some industries.

Some jobs, Stack points out, are set up for procrastination when the worker knows that the only reward for finishing early is getting more work piled on, without added compensation. It doesn't take long for an employee to figure out the pace that best serves their self-preservation, and chances are, there's some foot dragging involved in keeping pace.

Usually, however, people procrastinate because they simply don't feel like doing whatever it is they should be doing.
"It's usually a simple lack of discipline," Stack says. "Bottom line: procrastination wastes time; it's no less a time-waster than excessive socializing, personal business, or Internet usage.

"But unlike those activities, procrastination doesn't always stand out as an obvious productivity drain, so rooting it out mostly comes down to self-policing."

Here's the reality: sometimes you are going to procrastinate no matter what. You know what you need to do. You don't feel like doing it. You know you're procrastinating and choose to do it anyway. In that case, Stack suggests to readers that they do the next best thing: try to do something less productive than the task being avoided--a practice she calls "resourceful self-distraction."

"I consider it a lesser form of procrastination," Stack says. "On a scale of one to five, if the number one worst thing you could do is play a Sudoku puzzle and the number five best thing you could do is your top priority of the day, let's settle on something rated a three."

Stack suggests distracting oneself with one of the following resourceful tasks instead:

1. Work on tackling an important but non-urgent task.
2. Clear out the Email inbox, or clear off the desk.
3. Transfer attention to a medium-priority task that needs to be completed today.
4. Check in with those to whom specific tasks have been delegated but feedback is not forthcoming.
5. Knock out a low-priority task such as delivering mail to a colleague, refilling your pop-up note dispenser, or watering your plant.
6. Take a brief walk to clear your head, vowing to get to work immediately upon returning.
7. Clean out a few files.
8. Plan out a new project on a whiteboard.

Stack contends that when someone is not procrastinating entirely, at least they're doing something somewhat worthwhile, rather than wasting time performing a low-impact task. For instance, if you're already putting off an important deadline, you shouldn't be filling that time downloading songs from iTunes or blogging political on Huff Po. Instead, you should cross a few less important tasks off the "to do" list. Stack says it might result in enough head clearing and momentum to motivate a dive into the high priority task you're avoiding.

"While I'm a big critic of staying busy just to stay busy, I do have to admit that sometimes you can use low-value items this way to springboard you into a greater accomplishment," Stack says. "Just get moving, and before long, you may find yourself on a roll."

(PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Body Allure from Day 1 gives you clinically proven results to reduce the appearance of cellulite ("orange peel"), while making the body smoother and firmer. This revolutionary cream not only diminishes the appearance of cellulite while dramatically increasing the skin's smoothness, but it causes "reverse differentiation" causing fat cells and fat tissue to actually reverse its form into healthy, fibrolast-like tissue. The skin will be smoother, firmer and healthier with more suppleness and elasticity...and a dramatic reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

HOW IT WORKS:

Glaucine is a natural plant molecule that has been proven to have a tremendous effect on a mature adipocyte, commonly known as a mature fat cell. Glaucine has anti-inflammatory properties, but most importantly, it blocks the calcium channel in the cell. Allowing calcium to get to the pre-adipocyte forces the maturation of this pre-adipocyte into a mature fat cell, but by blocking the calcium, the cell never develops into a fat cell, and instead can develop into a healthy collagen-producing fibrolastic cell. In-Vivo testing shows that Glaucine can be directly responsible for a decrease in fat deposits and water retention, while increasing firmness.

Bupleurum Falcatum is used for its ability to activate lipolysis, while also increasing Cylic-AMP. Cyclic AMP promotes the production of Lipase, the enzyme that breaks down fat.

Coenzyme-A is used to promote the internal combustion of fats. It has often been referred to as the "master co-enzyme" because of its ability to initiate the entire energy production process. Coenzyme-A is also crucial to the balance between the carbohydrate metabolism and the fat metabolism.

Caffeine is known to contain theophylline, and there are several studies showing theophylline effectiveness in fighting cellulite. Caffeine is one of the oldest methods of fighting cellulite thanks to original work by Johnson & Johnson, but we now know that it can be exponentially more effective when combined with the right blend of other ingredients.

l-Carnitine directs free fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they can be broken down, are basically burned and converted into energy. It promotes the process of Lipolysis by changing the equilibrium of the free fatty acid. It has a topical effect similar to a local metabolism boost, which will shrink the cells that store fat.

Centella Asiatica Extract stimulates synthesis of the components in the extra-cellular matrix. It restores and renews the macromolecules that give the skin its elasticity, and promotes blood flow. By doing this, the skin becomes firmer, and this reduces the cellulite/"orange peel" appearance.
Elderberry Extract has been shown to be effective in removing moisture from the surface of the skin.

HOW IT BENEFITS THE SKIN:
*Visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite (orange peel skin) after regular treatment.
*Helps decrease fat deposits and water retention on the affected area of the skin.
*Results in skin being firmer and smoother, with improved elasticity.
*For all skin types.

NO PARABENS -- HYPOALLERGENIC -- NON-COMEDOGENIC -- NO ANIMAL TESTING

CLINICAL TESTING PROVES:
*Decrease in appearance of cellulite of up to 90% in 8-weeks.
*Reduction in skin surface roughness of up to 72.9%.
*Average decrease in the appearance of cellulite of 51.6% in 8-weeks.
*100% of test subjects said there was a significant improvement in overall
appearance of the skin.

The 13-year-old company attributes continued success to the services of a local business consultant.

VENICE, Fla.  (PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- Honest Air Conditioning of Venice was named a finalist for the Best of Venice award by the Venice Gondolier Sun this past year. The company has been nominated by its community for this award for five out of the past six years. Even after 13 years of being in business, the company continues to take new steps to set its bar even higher.

Owners Nick and Brooke Masher opened Honest Air Conditioning of Venice in 2000. Nick had worked in the air conditioning industry since 1973 and knew it was time for them to open their own business.

"We started with no customers and no money," said Nick. "We built our business from the ground up, and learned how to continually make improvements even in the tough recession we faced."

The Mashers attribute much of their success to their business consultant, Dulcee Loehn. Coach Dulcee has spent the last two years with the Mashers, helping to develop a strategic business plan and allowing Honest Air Conditioning of Venice to continue to grow and reach new heights.

Coach Dulcee Loehn is a certified FocalPoint Business Coach and founder of FocalPoint Business Performance of Tampa Bay. She spent over 20 years in executive and operations management within corporate America. She has extensive experience in all aspects of business management, marketing and sales. Coach Dulcee is also a published author and professional speaker.

"Coach Dulcee provides us with an outside perspective of what we are doing," said Nick. "She helps identify our challenges so we can overcome them as a team. She holds us accountable to make the changes we need to make our business better than ever before; it's an hour we look forward to every week. That hour keeps us on track and working towards the future."

Prior to Coach Dulcee, the Mashers say they needed to fine tune their business plans, policies and procedures to take their business to the next level. From employee management to providing customers with great service, they needed the extra boost. Now, the Mashers spend about an hour each week with Coach Dulcee, and instead of just talking about their improvements, they are putting them into practice. The Mashers say they are looking to expand Honest Air Conditioning of Venice not only in floor space but in the number of employees as well.

"I have seen significant improvement in Honest Air Conditioning of Venice," said Coach Dulcee. Their expertise has grown, but it's their passion for the business and their customers that allowed the coaching to work to create success. When owners are passionately committed like the Mashers, it shows in their business, and that is why we have seen so much improvement."

Honest Air Conditioning of Venice will continue to work with Coach Dulcee, as she is a valuable asset to their team. They look forward to offering only the highest level of customer service as they continue to find ways to improve their expanding business.

PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMERICAN VETERANS TRAVELING TRIBUTE COMING IN JUNE 2013

(PRBuzz.com) March 14, 2013 -- The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (ATTV) Vietnam Wall will find a home on the campus of Lindbergh High School, 4900 S. Lindbergh Blvd. from June 13 to 16, largely due to the efforts of St. Louis area veterans organizations, Sunset Hills Historical Society and many business and civic organizations.

"The AVTT Traveling Wall" has made stops across the nation and serves to educate, to inspire, and to provide a place for healing for all those who visit. The Wall is an 80 percent scale model of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which honors U.S. Service members and the U.S. armed forces who died in the service of their country. More than 58,000 names are etched into the memorial wall.

Vietnam veterans have played a key role in the project for a transportable version of the wall, so that those who cannot travel to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., can see what the memorial is all about and touch the names of friends or loved ones from the Vietnam War era.

The June event for St. Louis is known as the Show-Me Hero Salute. A broad-based committee hosting the event began meeting in June with the intention to present a dignified local memorial that will be respectful for those who served and returned as well as those who served and didn't come home.

"Our Show-Me Hero Salute committee has grown in size with every week since its start in January. We are genuinely gratified by the number of civic and veterans groups who have eagerly joined in this effort to show our Vietnam veterans and all veterans that they are never forgotten and they are always appreciated," said Sunset of Hills resident Morris L. "Butch" Thomas, who is chairing the event.
"Every day that the Wall is here will be memorable, beginning Wednesday, June 12, when the wall arrives and an escort motorcade travels through Crestwood on Watson Road and then down South Lindbergh to the high school where there will be a cannon volley welcome," noted Thomas. "On Thursday, there will be bands and a patriotic program and many notables including local mayors, county officials, legislators and leaders in state government."

The Show-Me Hero Salute organizers will provide more details on the multi-day American Veterans Traveling Tribute events as they become available. The daily programs will be short, as the major function of the wall will be to create a solemn, reverent, and meditative site.

Chaplains will be available for visitors as needed. St. Anthony's Medical Center will provide a First-Aid facility on site. Computers will be available and assistance given to help visitors to the scale-model memorial locate the names of their loved ones on the various panels of the Wall.

The Show-Me Hero Salute will have listed hours of operation daily, but the Wall will be available for visitation twenty-four hours a day until the closing ceremony ends at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 16.

Two generations ago, America found itself embroiled in the "hottest war" of the Cold War era in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam Wall documents the American loss of life in a war that is generally recorded as lasting from 1959 through the fall of Saigon in 1975. This year marks a series of 50th anniversaries in the intensification of the war and an increase in America's presence in Viet Nam and Southeast Asia.

As a service to the news media and to those who know the importance of remembering this vital piece of American history, the Show-Me Hero Salute public information office will be sending out a series of releases noting such Vietnam War era benchmarks as the dispatch of the first Special Forces, the battles at Ia Drang Valley and Khe Sanh, the Tet Offensive, the commencement of the draft lottery, the freeing of POWs and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam.

"This is an on-going event that is happening now and will not simply end when the Wall comes down on Sunday, June 16," said Thomas. "We welcome those who have a story to tell today, tomorrow and at the Traveling Tribute Vietnam Wall in June. This is a community event that is free and open to the public and we are going to do our best to live up to our theme: honor, respect, remember."

For more information on the Show-Me Hero Salute activities and the traveling wall, please contact: Morris L. "Butch" Thomas, chairman, 314-849-2234 or by email: Morris.Thomas@att.net; or publicity contact GeGe Mix at 636-394-6677 or by email: gegemix@charter.net.
