PHILIPSBURG:--- A happy International Women's Day to all women here at home and abroad. As women we have come very far and now can hold some of the most influential positions and make a huge difference for our children and our people.
With increasing strides in gender equality, most girls born within the last few decades can dream unrestricted under the latest trend of "Girls Rock!" Let us strive to make that even more of a reality for our girls right here at home.
On March 8 we are honored as women, but I challenge all women and those who love and support them to honor the women in your lives each and every day.
Women are the roots of our moral and value system and the ones charged to nurture, teach compassion and love and we have proven that we can also lead.
Stand tall and proud as a woman today and every day and make it your business to be a leader in your homes, community and wherever you may work or play. You can make the difference.
Happy International Women's Day to all girls and women.
