Retreat in Ramadan

AA all, here I am again after my retreat (I'tikaf)
Incidentally I know Christians have some 'retreat' also but I dont know the details, please enlighten us if you do.
No, I did not pray that US Congress should accept Ramadan as holy month.
Whereas I agree that is a positive step, I think it is delayed. US Army had created the post of Muslim Chaplin 12 years ago (or thereabout) which was a 'recognition' of the Muslim personell in the Army. One or our new Muslimah would wear an army-matching 'hijab' at her post (Fort Bragg, NC), would exercise at Sahar time instead with others at regular time, just to name a few things Army 'agreed' for providing to the Muslims. ( I was closely associated with Fort Bragg's Muslims and had welcomed the then Capt. Abdur-Rasheed, the first Army Muslim chaplin)
But probably some things like this must lag behind?
Now as for Muslims this is a "spiritual renewal" in this month but what is needed is more (does it last for the rest of the 11 months?)
The Lord, the Almighty Allah and his teachings remain the same for the rest of the year, right?
