Let's Keep This Going Thru July 4th



         
Happy 4th of July!....




Let' s get this started ,NOW! 
So it will be out there on the fourth!





I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE 
FLAG,
OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA
,


AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR
WHICH IT STANDS,
 
ONE
NATION UNDER  GOD
,
 
INDIVISIBLE,
 
WITH  LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

KEEP IT LIT!
! KEEP IT LIT! 





For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be. 
Please
Support all of the troops defending our Country.


And God Bless our Military
 
who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.




We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,
 
of which we should be eternally grateful.
 










I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.




A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.



I looked at him in uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud.
With hair cut square and eyes alert,
he'd stand out in any crowd.


I thought how many men like him
had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil;
how many mothers' tears?


How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE !


I heard the sound of Taps one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant 'Amen.'
 
When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.



I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.




I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.
 
Of unmarked graves in  Arlington .
NO FREEDOM ISN'T FREE


Enjoy Your Freedom
 
and
God Bless Our Troops.

When you receive this,
 
please stop for a moment
and say a prayer for our servicemen.

 
Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.

The end is near


Sean is the pastor of a Church of England

parish on the Northern Ireland / Southern

Ireland border and Patrick is the priest in

the Roman Catholic Church across the
road..  

One day they are seen together, erecting

a sign into the ground, which says:



TA END IS NEAR! 


TURN YERSELF AROUNT NOW 


AFOR IT IS TOO LATE!



As a car speeds past them, the driver

leans out his window and yells,

"Leave people alone, you Oirish

religious nutters! We don't need

your lectures."




From the next curve they hear screeching

tyres and a big splash.  

 Shaking his head, Rev. Patrick says

"Dat's da terd one dis mornin'."   

"Yaa," Pastor Sean agrees, then asks,

"Do ya tink maybe da sign should just say,

'Bridge Out?'"

MY LAST TRIP TO SAM’S CLUB


It’s a dog’s life, after all J



Yesterday I was at my local Sam’s

Club buying a large bag of Purina dog


chow for my loyal pet, Jake, the


Wonder Dog and was in the check-out


line when a woman behind me asked


if I had a dog.


What did she think I had, an elephant?


So since I'm retired and have little to


do, on impulse I told her that no,


I didn't have a dog, I was starting


the Purina Diet again. I added that


I probably shouldn't, because I ended


up in the hospital last time, but that


I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened


in an intensive care ward with tubes


coming out of most of my orifices


and IVs in both arms.


I told her that it was essentially a Perfect


Diet and that the way that it works is, to


load your pants pockets with Purina


Nuggets and simply eat one or two every


time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally


complete so it works well and I was going


to try it again. (I have to mention here that


practically everyone in line was now


enthralled with my story.)


Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive


care, because the dog food poisoned me.


I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a





poodle's butt and a car hit me.


I thought the guy behind her was going to


have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Sam’s Club won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people.


They have all the time in the World to think


of crazy things to say.
