The Gift That Keeps Giving: The Holidays for Manchester Wood

This holiday season many of us seek joyous occasions with friends and loved ones gathered around a softly lit fire, crackling along with the laughs of memories shared. There is a thankfulness for the time together, and the gifts given physically, emotionally, and spiritually; all of which are truly the most treasured of gifts “that keep on giving.”

Veteran’s Day on 11/11/11

Veteran's Day 11.11.11

In a time when our country needs the most synchronicity to upright and change the tide of a failing economy, immoral bank abuse, political agendas for a select few, and a restless occupy movement finding tent cities in every major metropolitan area in protest in part of this societal unrest; what better place to start that synch of a blissful and self-realized future than on 11-11-11.

An important day it is, as it finds celebration and honor for our veterans who have served, and we wish to thank them dearly for that service.

As an American made solid wood furniture manufacturer, Manchester Wood takes this day to not only keep in mind that synchronicity in which we put forth the idea for a more peaceful and spiritually uplifted union, but also for those who either chose or were found to be in military action as a service to the freedoms America possesses.

Manchester Wood’s founder Clifford Pierce was a medaled Korean War vet who valued and respected his time served and wished nothing more than the same for all those who have put on a uniform. We continue to extend that hand today to our veteran employees and those in our extended community.

This Veteran’s Day is filled with love, respect, gratitude, and an eye on a bright future where war, whether socially, politically, or physically drawn, will never be seen again.

God bless all veterans on this day!

The Statue of Liberty Celebrates 125th Anniversary

The State of Liberty during its 125th Anniversary Celebration

The Statue of Liberty (a.k.a. Liberty Enlightening the World) celebrated its 125^th year as a landmark and as a testament to the American ideal this past week, October 28^th 2011. It was on that day in 1886 when the statue was dedicated with Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom standing tall with a torch bearing freedom, chains broken at her feet, and a tablet evoking the laws of our Declaration.

Intended as a gift from the people of France and designed by Frédéric Bartholdi. The production of Libertas and her famed sculpture took Bartholdi over 15 years to make due to political unrest in France and than a lack of funds, which brought publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the World to drive a fundraiser in 1885 bringing more than a 120,000 Americans to contribute to it’s finishing.

Political unrest, lack of funds aside, this gift from France speaks more to us now than ever before. Are we not a nation of political unrest and bestowed with a lack of funds?

The Statue of Liberty was made in a time where America was beginning an upward climb, a manifesting path of un-defiance for an abundant future.

We must look to France in gratitude for this prized possession that is our reminder of freedom and opportunity, and than look to ourselves to make sure we deliver on its promise. Of the 120,000 American people who donated to the finishing touches more than half gave less than a dollar! It was France and the help of the American working class that helped raise this prize! Let us raise it again!
