November/noviembre 2026

​ ​
On this month's November cover, we pay tribute to some Veterans who have passed, with an altar in observance of Día de los Muertos. Red poppies symbolize military sacrifice and remembrance for soldiers who died in war.  I felt it was significant as we embark on Veterans Day. Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a vibrant multi-day holiday celebrated primarily on November 1 and 2, when families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a joyful reunion. Ofrendas (Altars)are decorated with photographs of the departed, candles, personal items, and favorite foods.
Cempasúchil (Marigolds): Bright orange and yellow-scented flowers used to guide the spirits back to the physical world. The journey of our loved one is symbolized by the monarchs and the hummingbird.
