STRENGTH BEYOND DREAMS
Strength isn't just a state of mind
It beats within your heart, refined.
A force that weaves through life's great theme
Much greater than the loftiest dream.

But that’s no sign of weakened powers.
Depend on time, let moments grow,
For even stars need time to glow.
Don’t let them tell you, “You can’t soar,”
Your dreams are worth the fight and more.
And if your reach should cause you scars,
Remember, you were born to be a star.

MILITARY
The United States Armed Forces are the military forces of the United States.[13] U.S. federal law names six armed forces: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and the Coast Guard.[14] Since 1949, all of the armed forces, except the Coast Guard, have been permanently part of the United States Department of Defense. They form six of the eight uniformed services of the United States.
UNITED STATES ARMY
Our purpose remains constant.
"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business. Our teammates don't want to fight without us, and our enemies are wise to fear us. We are not a Pacific Army or a Europe Army. We are not Brigade-centric or Division-centric. We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
To do that, we must stay grounded and dedicate our energy in four focus areas: Warfighting, Delivering Ready Combat Formation, Continuous Transformation and Strengthening the Profession.
ALSO:
UNITED STATES NAVY
The United States is a maritime nation, and the U.S. Navy protects America at sea. Alongside our allies and partners, we defend freedom, preserve economic prosperity, and keep the seas open and free. Our nation is engaged in long-term competition. To defend American interests around the globe, the U.S. Navy must remain prepared to execute our timeless role, as directed by Congress and the President.
Globally Deployed Navy and Sailors
As part of the Joint Force, we deploy forward—alongside our allies and partners—to deter aggression and preserve freedom of the seas. Our global posture ensures the presence of naval forces with the right mix of platforms, capability, and capacity to maintain freedom of the seas, support international law and norms, stand by our allies, and continue to fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows. America's Navy is a flexible, forward-postured force that competes and wins in the day-to-day, in crisis, and—if need be—in conflict.
ALSO:
UNITED STATES MARINE CORP
A COLLECTIVE PURPOSE. AN EFFECTIVE MISSION.
"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business. Our teammates don't want to fight without us, and our enemies are wise to fear us. We are not a Pacific Army or a Europe Army. We are not Brigade-centric or Division-centric. We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
To do that, we must stay grounded and dedicate our energy in four focus areas: Warfighting, Delivering Ready Combat Formation, Continuous Transformation and Strengthening the Profession. The Marine Corps mission reflects every Marine's purpose. In essence, our Nation is that purpose. In our world, in ourselves, and in our way, there are conflicts, challenges, and obstacles that must be fought confidently and defeated convincingly for our Nation to prevail. These looming battles come in many forms and occur on many fronts, but each comes down to a critical choice: to demand victory or accept defeat. To pull together or fall apart. To give in or cave in. It is a decision each Marine conveys to our Nation with each battle won.
ALSO:
UNITED STATES AIR FORCE

ALSO:
UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE
The U.S. Space Force was established on Dec. 20, 2019, creating the first new branch of the armed services since 1947. The establishment of the USSF resulted from widespread recognition that space is a national security imperative. When combined with the growing threat posed by strategic competitors in space, it became clear that there was a need for a military service focused solely on pursuing superiority in the space domain.
Organization and Location
The Space Force headquarters is located at the Pentagon — just like the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. While the Space Force is a separate and distinct branch of the armed services, it is organized under the Department of the Air Force in a manner very similar to how the Marine Corps is organized under the Department of the Navy.
ALSO:
CIVIL SERVICE
Law enforcement refers to the agencies and individuals responsible for enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and ensuring public safety. This includes investigating crimes, apprehending and detaining suspects, and taking other actions to uphold the legal system.
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Mission and Core Beliefs
The mission of the Georgia Department of Public Safety is to work cooperatively with all levels of government to provide a safe environment for residents and visitors to our state. Although focused primarily on the enforcement of traffic laws and investigation of traffic crashes, the Department of Public Safety will support the efforts of all public safety agencies to reduce crime, apprehend those who commit them, and respond to natural and manmade disasters. In all of our endeavors, DPS personnel will remain committed to following our core beliefs of trust, fortitude, compassion and professionalism.
Trust
Trust is our hallmark and foundation. Our word is our bond. Truthfulness is what the public expects from us and what we demand of ourselves. We are committed to the highest ethical standards and highest level of performance beyond reproach.
Compassion
We have the courage and wisdom to be fair. We are sensitive to the needs of others and are committed to treat all with dignity and respect.
Fortitude
We are committed to persevere through sacrifice and adversity to do the right thing, even at personal cost. In the tradition of those who preceded us, we are confident in our ability to fairly enforce all laws, to protect life and property, and to be accountable for our actions.
Professionalism
As an elite and diverse team of highly trained, motivated men and women, we are committed to providing effective, efficient, and courteous service. We pledge to set innovative standards for others to follow.

GEORGIA STATE PATROL
Our purpose remains constant.
"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business. Our teammates don't want to fight without us, and our enemies are wise to fear us. We are not a Pacific Army or a Europe Army. We are not Brigade-centric or Division-centric. We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
To do that, we must stay grounded and dedicate our energy in four focus areas: Warfighting, Delivering Ready Combat Formation, Continuous Transformation and Strengthening the Profession.

POSTAL HISTORY
Our history is the history of America.
United States Postal Service - March 16, 2023
The Postal Service has enabled faster, more efficient communication, created safer, more secure delivery of correspondence and merchandise and has adapted to meet the evolving needs of its customers for nearly 250 years. It’s what we do.
The history of the Postal Service is a large story set on a broad canvas. It is intertwined with the history of America, and it provides a lens from which to observe the evolution of the United States. The postal system strengthened the foundations of our democracy by fostering the flow of ideas and access to America’s free press. It enabled the vast expansion of American industry and commerce, spanning and influencing the rise of the railroads in the 19th century, air travel in the 20th century, and the advanced digital technology of recent decades. As America’s economy and society have evolved, so too has the Postal Service progressed, both meeting and reflecting the nation’s changing needs.

STRENGTH BEYOND DREAMS
Strength isn't just a state of mind
It beats within your heart, refined.
A force that weaves through life's great theme
Much greater than the loftiest dream.
At times, you lean on fleeting hours,
But that’s no sign of weakened powers.
Depend on time, let moments grow,
For even stars need time to glow.
Don’t let them tell you, “You can’t soar,”
Your dreams are worth the fight and more.
And if your reach should cause you scars,
Remember, you were born to be a star.

AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is the science, art, or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock, as well as the preparation and marketing of the resulting products. It encompasses a broad range of activities, from small-scale subsistence farming to large-scale industrial farming. Agriculture is a fundamental part of human civilization, providing food, fiber, and other resources.
Key Aspects:
-
Crop Production: Involves planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and other plants.
-
Livestock Production: Encompasses raising animals for meat, dairy, eggs, and other products.
-
Aquaculture: The farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed.
-
Forestry: The cultivation and management of forests for timber and other products.
-
Preparation and Marketing: Involves processing agricultural products, packaging them, and distributing them to consumers.
SUBSISTENCE FARMING
Subsistence farming is a type of agriculture where farmers primarily grow crops to feed themselves and their families, with minimal surplus for sale or trade. It is characterized by small land plots, traditional farming methods, and family labor.
-
Traditional Methods:
Subsistence farming often relies on traditional farming techniques and practices, with less reliance on modern technology and inputs.
-
Limited Surplus:
While some surplus may be generated, it's usually minimal and primarily used for local trade or bartering, rather than being sold in a larger market.
-
Small-Scale Production:
Subsistence farms typically involve
small plots of land, often family-owned.
-
Self-Sufficiency:
The primary goal is to produce
enough food to meet the needs
of the farming household, rather
than generating income
through sales.
COMMERCIAL FARMING
Commercial farming is a large-scale agricultural system focused on producing crops and livestock for profit in the market. It differs from subsistence farming, which aims to provide food for the farmer's family, by focusing on sales and meeting market demand. Commercial farming utilizes modern technologies, advanced techniques, and significant capital investment to maximize efficiency and output.
-
Profit-driven: The primary goal is to generate income through the sale of agricultural products.
-
Market-oriented: Commercial farmers aim to meet the demands of local, national, or international markets.
-
Advanced technology and methods: Modern machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, and other technologies are used to enhance efficiency and yield.
-
Specialization: Commercial
farms often specialize in
producing specific crops
or livestock for which there
is a strong market demand.
-
Capital intensive: Significant
financial investment is required
for equipment, land, and other
inputs.
-
Large-scale production:
Commercial farms operate on
a larger scale compared to
subsistence farms, often covering
hundreds of hectares.

Your gift today can help change a child's future forever.
WESOURCE emphasizes the need for support and guidance to help children make informed educational decisions for their future. While 43% of adults currently work in their childhood dream jobs and 19% have done so previously, many young people lack the trust, love, and support necessary to take proactive steps toward their goals. This highlights the importance of early intervention and encouragement in shaping their futures.
