3 3 Arrow Candy Card Cupid February Flowers Friends Groundhog Heart Hug Kiss Love Red Roses Sweet Valentine Groundhog Day Every year on Groundhog Day, America s favorite weatherman appears. In honor of Punxsutawney Phil, share these facts about groundhogs. Groundhog is the typical name for these animals, but they are also called woodchucks. Every year, groundhogs hibernate. Their temperature drops to just above freezing, and their breathing and heart rate slow dramatically. Feb. 2 is Groundhog Day, when the furry forecaster from Pennsylvania emerges from his burrow. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn t, then spring is just around the corner.

Entertainment With the Soundz of Music Remembering Iwo Jima The image of six U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima is one of history s most famous photographs, having recorded the soul of a nation, as it was later described. Every year on Feb. 23, Iwo Jima Day is observed to honor that defining moment and the brave men who fought in the World War II battle. Located about halfway between Japan and the Mariana Islands, the tiny island of Iwo Jima was needed as a strategic landing site for American B-29 bombers. Beginning Feb. 19, 1945, three Marine divisions totaling 70,000 men battled 21,000 Japanese troops who were entrenched in a sophisticated underground network of caves and tunnels. On March 26, the U.S. declared the island secure after five weeks of fighting. During that time, nearly 7,000 Americans were killed and 20,000 wounded, with 27 men awarded the Medal of Honor, the country s highest military award for bravery. The enduring image of the flag-raising on Mount Suribachi, captured by press photographer Joe Rosenthal, is immortalized as a sculpture at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial outside Arlington National Cemetery.
