Did I mention it’s NATIONWIDE?! I just looked up our vacation destination and there are hundreds of food/activity discounts available. So think of the card as a “Vacation Meal Savings Plan”. I know you’re going to take the family to eat a few times.

#OnThisDay in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. It wasn't until September 1957 that 9 teens would become symbols of all that was in store for our nation in the years to come. More: s.si.edu/38tzEUz

During #WWII, a lot of the food grown by the U.S. was needed to feed soldiers fighting overseas. Tennesseans began growing more of their own food in "victory gardens" to overcome wartime food shortages. This gardening apron from the era features images of various produce.
