Great American Smokeout Is November 21

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Health Department and the American Cancer Society remind you that it’s important to quit smoking. The Great American Smokeout can help.

The Great American Smokeout is an annual event held on the Thursday before Thanksgiving (this year observed on Thursday, November 21) that encourages smokers to make a plan to quit smoking or explore/utilize quit-smoking resources. About two out of three adult smokers want to quit smoking cigarettes, and approximately half of smokers made a quit attempt in the preceding year. Getting effective help through counseling and use of medications can increase the chances of quitting by as much as threefold. By quitting, even for one day, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life—one that can lead to reducing the risk of chronic diseases linked to tobacco use.

Village of Ridgewood’s 2019 Veterans Day Ceremony Disrespected by Councilmember

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, How disrespectful. An elected official, introduced by the Master of Ceremonies as an “honored guest,” sitting on the dais snapping photos during a solemn ceremony honoring veterans of war. No one else on the dais had either a camera or a cell phone in hand during the entire ceremony. What a moron. How did he ever get elected?

A Short History of Veterans Day

45823024 10156361201233300 5067258834511200256 n1

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
