Message from the President
Hello to all Industrial Engineers and Friends of Industrial Engineers,
Welcome to our National Capital Chapter Newsletter for the month of July. On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream. The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. We are probably the most loved,the most respected, the most feared, and the most hated country inthe world. Our history is short, yet our accomplishments are many and great.
Each year on July 4th, Americans celebrate that freedom andindependence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. On every 4th of July and all other days of every year; we continue toearn our independence. Some days we earn our freedom andindependence through diplomacy and the political process. Some days we earn our freedom through the sacrifice of blood. All days as a Nation, we strive to do what is right and just.
4th of July trivia… What two presidents died within hours of each other on the 4th of July? Hint, they were the only two future presidents to sign the Declaration of Independence.
For the answer to the trivia question and for an interesting article on the history of our flag, please refer to the July newsletter.
Thank you,
Russell Wooten
President IIE National Capital Chapter
