Flower Cones Source: Martha Stewart

MATERIALS

Medium-weight paper

Decorative scissors

Craft glue

Hole punch

STEPS

1. To make flower cones, cut medium-weight paper into a 7-

inch square. Use decorative scissors to scallop edge and a

pencil to form tip.

2. Secure outer flap of cone with craft glue. Punch six holes,

1 inch apart, beginning at top front center; thread 20-inch

length of 1/2-inch-wide ribbon through holes. Tie bow at

front, and leave a 7-inch loop at the back.

If you're constantly popping mints or chewing gum to cover up bad breath, you're not

alone. One in four Americans has halitosis. Why? Most cases of halitosis are caused by

improper dental hygiene. If you don't brush and floss your teeth after every meal, bits

of food that get stuck in your teeth and gums and on your tongue will begin to decay

and emit foul odors.

An unclean mouth also means that bacteria can grow, potentially leading to gum

disease, which is also a cause of bad breath. In addition, certain foods and drink are

more likely to cause bad breath, including garlic, onions, cheese, orange juice, and

soda including diet varieties. After these foods or drinks are digested, their oils make

their way into your bloodstream and are then carried into your lungs. The odor is then

released through your breath.

Other Causes of Bad Breath

Aside from what you eat and drink, bad breath can also be linked to:

A dry mouth. Saliva is your mouth's natural cleanser, so when your mouth

is dry, dead cells can build up, which is what causes morning breath. This is

an even bigger problem if you sleep with your mouth open. Smoking and

certain medications can also cause dry mouth. In more extreme cases, you

could have a problem with your salivary glands that leaves your mouth

unusually dry.

Chronic diseases. Sometimes underlying health conditions can cause bad

breath. Lung infections, cancers, kidney or liver failure, diabetes, and

gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), for example, are all associated

with halitosis.

Respiratory, mouth, throat, and nose conditions. These conditions are

also often associated with bad breath. For example, discharge from a sinus

infection is known to cause bad breath. If you have an upper respiratory

infection such as bronchitis, the sputum coughed up can also cause

halitosis.

Tobacco products, particularly smoking. Tobacco products can dry your

mouth and result in bad breath. People who use tobacco are also at

greater risk of developing gum disease, poor general oral health, and oral

cancers.

Malnutrition. Starvation or intense dieting can result in bad breath due to

ketoacidosis, which is a breakdown of chemicals that occurs during fasting.

Tonsils. Your tonsils are filled with nooks and crannies where bacteria and

other materials, including dead cells and mucous, can become trapped.

When this happens, the debris can become concentrated in white

formations that occur in the pockets. Tonsil stones are formed when this

trapped debris hardens, or calcifies. This can cause bad breath.

Beating Bad Breath

To combat bad breath, try the following:

Avoid foods and beverages that you know cause bad breath; this may also

mean minimizing your intake of alcohol.

Brush for two to three minutes after every meal and floss your teeth at

least once a day.

Brush your tongue gently to remove dead cells, including the back of your

tongue, because that's where bacteria often collect.

Drink lots of water to keep your mouth moist and clean. And water really is

what's best here: Other beverages, particularly caffeinated beverages,

don't work as well as water for halitosis treatment and prevention.

Get a dental cleaning at least twice a year.

If you wear dentures, bridges, or removable braces, clean them thoroughly

at least once a day.

Suck xylitol to stimulate saliva production, which helps wash away food

particles and bacteria.

Getting to the Root of Bad Breath Source: Everyday Health

- D-Day occurred on June 6th, 1944 - On D-Day some 156,000 American, British, and Canadian

forces landed on 5 beaches along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy Region.

- D-Day was part of the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944

- The Battle of Normandy’s codename was Operation Overlord - General Dwight D. Eisenhower was the appointed commander

of Operation Overlord - Eisenhower actually selected June 5th, 1944 for the date of the

invasion, but had to move it back a day due to bad weather. - U.S. forces faced heavy resistance at Omaha Beach, where

there were over 2,000 American casualties. - By the end of the day about 156,000 allied troops successfully

stormed Normandy’s beaches. - According to estimates over 4,000 allied troops lost their lives

in the D-Day invasion and thousands more were wounded or missing.

- The Normandy turned the tide against the Nazi’s. It is considered the beginning of the end of World War II.

- It prevented Hitler from sending troops from France to build up his Eastern Front against advancing Soviets.

Hope For The Warriors Hope For The Warriors was founded by military families aboard Marine Corps Base Camp

Lejeune, NC in 2006 as they witnessed, firsthand, the effects war imparts on service members

and their families. Hope For The Warriors has remained grounded in family values as the

organization expands both the span of programs offered and the number of wounded, family

members, and families of the fallen assisted.

The leadership of the organization remains in the dedicated hands of combat veterans and

military family members. Together, our board of directors, staff, and volunteers work tirelessly

to serve those who have sacrificed so much. The integrity of our organization is paramount and

therefore our representatives are as honorable and noble as our mission and the people we

serve.

We believe those touched by military

service can succeed at home by restoring

their sense of self, family, and hope.

Nationally, Hope For The Warriors provides

comprehensive support programs for

service members, veterans, and military

families that are focused on transition,

health and wellness, peer engagement,

and connections to community resources.
