Veterans Day 2013

This Veterans Day, we honor those who have so bravely served this country.

Thank you.

Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday!

Remember to set your clocks back.

Most of the United States will be setting their clocks back on Sunday, November 3 this year. Officially, clocks "fall back" one hour, going from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Exceptions: Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The Navajo Nation DOES participate in Daylight Saving Time, even in Arizona. This is due to its large size and location in three states.
