Interpretive Signs

How do we get today’s neighborhood youth to respect important assets in this community and to this nation? I believe it starts with appropriate community stewardship that is led by our adult population. It is how the adults behave in treating, protecting, and honoring what are considered our most important assets. It’s how our generation of citizens chooses to honor the previous generations. It’s the respect we bestow on the materials, craftsmanship, and valuable resources that went into building this community. It’s the way we honor the ideals, values, and Christian principles of our forefathers. It’s in opening the doors of our homes to neighbors to celebrate milestones. It’s in opening our eyes to see how we can make a difference as opposed to waiting for someone else to clean up the mess. It’s in giving the next generation an inheritance of something more than debt and decay. It’s in projecting a sense of pride to our youth, to visitors who come to our community, and to the citizens of the United States who trusted us with these assets. There are interpretive signs out there that are telling us how well we are doing. We just need to open our eyes.
