Merry Christmas,
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes from all of us at
the IFPA!
We all have much to
be thankful for. This is the 13th
Christmas of the IFPA and the 2nd
Holiday Season with our rewarding affiliation
with the A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging
Medicine), ACASP (American College of Anti-Aging
Sports Medicine Professionals), and Doctor’s
Fitness Centers! This is our first Christmas
with our new affiliates Vortex, SciFit, and The
Fitness Institute of Technology!
The IFPA, all of our
members and affiliates continue to do battle
against the epidemics of obesity, diabetes,
cancer, and cardiovascular disease resulting
from physical inactivity. While we are engaged
in this critical battle for the survival of the
USA, it is essential that we not forget there
are those who wage a more dangerous war for the
survival of the USA.
We must never forget
the best, brightest and bravest of our citizens,
the American Military, who are now engaged in a
Great War to defend not only the men, women and
children of America, but every living being who
desires to live safe and free! Nearly 3,000
brave souls have paid the ultimate sacrifice and
died defending our country, our people and our
way of life, and those of other countries who
could not defend themselves. Many of our Great
Warriors have paid with life, limb, blood and
tears against an enemy as cruel, evil, and
monstrous as any we have faced in our 230 year
history.
In an unbroken line,
from Bunker Hill to Iraq and Afghanistan, the
indomitable spirit of the best, brightest and
bravest of America’s Warriors continues to
thrive. They now endure the hardships and the
terror of war with courage and gallantry so we
can live safe and free. They stand in harm’s
way, between us and peril so we can live safe
and free. They give so much and stand ready to
give their all. Is it asking too much to give
thanks this Holiday Season to say a prayer for
all our brave men and women of the American
Military? Is it asking too much to walk up to
them, shake their hand and thank them for their
service? Is it asking too much to support
someone who is prepared to die for you?
