<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7894000, member: 100459"]From what I understand, the "new" quarters will "celebrate" many of the women that helped make the United States of America the company we are proud of. It took many women to protest and fight to get the right to vote. The also had to fight to be an equal partner in getting equal pay for equal work. My wife and partner has been an equal partner in our marriage, teaching our children (and me) to be better in all they do (2 girls, 1 boy). I am thankful for my "partner". She taught high school English for 32 years. Many of her students have come back to see her. I enjoyed seeing the light in her eyes when we are shopping former students would stop and want to tell her all of their accomplishments. There are several Medical Doctors, Lawyers, Farmers and many other professions that have stopped to tell her that she was the reason for their success. During the stops at the store, I learned to step back and let her enjoy the accolades former students give her and I bust the buttons on my shirt as I look at the tears in her eyes to have students recognize her. </p><p>Maybe (probably) we need to recognize those women that helped make our families and our country great, even if we have to have a quarter to let us know what they have done for us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
