Every year the city’s volunteers place over 35,000 flags - one for each soldier fallen from MA while protecting us and our way of life.

I love the fairs and the BBQs - but I also love seeing this image every year, to remind me how fortunate I am, and to tell me to say “thanks” - especially today.

If you have diabetes, you’ve probably heard of “peripheral neuropathy.” But what is it? Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves in the feet caused by very high or low blood sugar. It can cause burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet. The pain can be severe, even waking you up at night, and numbness can prevent you from feeling injuries to your feet. If you’ve noticed tingling or numbness, see your podiatrist right away, and be sure to check your feet daily for any signs of injuries or wounds. www.apma.org/peripheralneuropathy
