How well did you
sleep? our Military Sleeping Quarters
Priceless Pictures
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT WOULD PATTON HAVE SAID?
Attention!
OK you whining, panty-waisted, pathetic Maggots,
it's time for a
little refresher course on exactly
why we Americans
occasionally have to fight wars.
See if you can tear yourself away from your #%@^$!
and Starbucks for
a minute, pull your head out of your flabby ass and LISTEN
UP!!
THIS is not "torture"
nor is it an "atrocity."
This is the kind
of thing frat boys, sorority girls,
and academy
cadets do to newcomers.
A little fun at someone else's expense.
Certainly no reason to wring your hands or get
your panties in a
wad. Got that Kennedy?
THIS IS an atrocity!
So Was This!!!
WHICH PART OF "HAD ENOUGH" DON'T YOU GET?
Islam a peaceful religion???
Millions of these sons-of-bitches are plotting as we speak to
destroy our country
and our way of life any way they
can. Some of them are here among us now.
They don't want to convert you and don't want to rule you.
They want your butt prints removed from the sands of time.
You are a vile infestation of something called Allah's
paradise.
They don't give a
shit how "progressive" you are, how peace-loving you are,
or how much you
sympathize with their cause.
They want
you dead, and think it is God's
grand will for them to do it quicker than crap through a
goose. You still think Bush and Ashcroft are your
worst enemies?
John Kerry thinks if he gives them a hug or leads a couple of
rounds of "Kumbaya," they'll all of a sudden start liking
the US of A. And you agree with that?
Get a grip, dumb ass.
If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents,
or even some garden variety anthrax you will wish to God and
not those snot-nosed bubble heads on television we had
hunted them down and killed every goddam one of them when we
had the chance.
So stop
bitching about your health care the Constitution doesn't
guarantee you anyway, your Social Security, the price of gas and
your measly 6% unemployment rate and spend a little time
fretting about your family and your friends.
How many
more Americans must be beheaded before you stop blaming
Bush for all your
troubles and grab your own balls for a change.
You've fallen asleep AGAIN
Maggots!
And you may not get another chance!
NOW GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS and do something a little more
productive than reading what Maureen Dowd or Molly Ivins
think. You should have learned by now they don't.
Pass this on instead of their safely-out-of-range bitching
and moaning.
Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;
We'd rather you die, than come to court.
Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?
Your just a punk with a turban; a pathetic shame.
I have a question, about your theory and laws;
"How come you never die for the cause?"
Is it because you're a coward who counts on others?
Well, here in America, we stand by our brothers
As is usual, you failed in your mission;
If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on wishin'
Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;
Your death has become our next endeavor.
What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;
It's not in buildings or shopping malls.
If all of our structures came crashing down;
It would still be there, safe and sound.
Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;
Even if the towers leave a deep void.
We'll band together and fill the holes
We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.
But then our energy will focus on you;
And you'll feel the wrath of the Red, White and Blue.
So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;
Because America's coming to kick your ass!!!
I never knew a lot of these companies were not American
BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS
Ever heard of Lagardere SCA? No? Well maybe because it's a French
company.. OK .. have you ever heard of Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.?
Probably not, but Hachette Filipacchi publishes some magazines you may
have heard of. Those magazines would be Elle, Car &Driver, Women's Day and
others. Now it's getting familiar, isn't it? OK, so we have Car &Driver
which is published by Hachette Filipacchi which is owned by Lagardere SCA
which is a French Corporation.
So .. are we finished here? No, not quite It seems that a man who has been
in the news quite a bit of late owns around two percent of Lagardere SCA.
About $90 million dollars worth. His name? Saddam Hussein.
Join the "Boycott France" Campaign
Please review this list of major French companies that Americans should
boycott.
France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved
from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. French President
Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France
will oppose their membership in the European Union.
This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has
been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq build long
range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against American
soldiers.
Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can
exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and
countries that do not stand with America.

Stop paying for terrorism........
.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more
money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that
don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the
feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people
who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be
interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas
from. Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00
-8/31/01).
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not
import Middle Eastern oil: Citgo 0 barrels
Sunoco 0 barrels
Conoco 0 barrels
Sinclair 0 barrels
BP/Phillips 0 barrels
Hess 0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be
easily documented. Refineries located in the US are required to state where
they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly
basis. Keep this list in your car; share it with friends.
Stop paying for terrorism.............
Only in America
FM 100.7 (A local radio station) was doing one of their "is anyone
listening" bits this morning. The first one was, "Ever have a celebrity
pull the 'Do you know who I am' routine?" A woman called in and said that a
few years back, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT.,
they had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant that does not take
reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes. Lots of other rancher types and
their spouses were already waiting. In comes Ted Turner and Jane Fonda.
They want a table. The hostess says they'll have to wait about 45 minutes.
Jane Fonda asks the hostess if she knows who she is. "Yes, but you'll
still have to wait 45 minutes." Then Jane says, "Is the manager in?" The
manager comes out, "May I help you?" 'Do you know who I am?" ask both
Jane and Ted. "Yes, but these folks have all been waiting already and I
can't put you in ahead of them." Then Ted asks to speak to the owner. The
owner comes out. Jane again asks, "Do you know who I am?" The owner
says, "Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant
and a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of all of my
friends and neighbors here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant
tonight or any other night. Good bye."
Only in America, what a great country!
To all who received this email. This is a true story and the name of
the steak house is 'Sir Scott's Oasis in Manhattan, Montana. The story left
out one important part. The owner of the restaurant told Ted Turner that he
was a Vietnam Vet and that he (Ted) would be welcome in his restaurant but
Ted would have to get that bitch traitor out of his establishment because he
would not serve her under any circumstances. I live part of the year in
West Yellowstone, MT and eat from time to time at the Oasis. Best New
Year's Wishes to all of you, Mike Letson
Keep passing this on. We never forget the unprosecuted traitor!
And let's not forget what "our gal" Hillary said to the troops in
Iraq!!! "This war has no support from the American public" ))))

A few weeks ago, I
created a page about Burma Shave and the background music for that page was this
Statler Brothers' song....Do You Remember These? I started thinking about the
words to this song and had the idea for this page......to see how many out there
"could remember these". In addition, I have the Statlers singing the song in the
background, which is a departure from what I normally do for a couple of
reasons, but I wanted those who may not be familiar with the song to hear it as
they scroll down the page. I hope this brings back a lot of good memories for
everybody!
Saturday morning serials chapters 1 through 15
(Green Lantern)
Fly paper, penny loafers, Lucky Strike Green
Flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, Pepsi please
Ah, do you remember these
Cigar bands on your hand, your daddy's socks rolled down
Six snow floats, and aviator caps with flaps that button down
Movie stars on Dixie Cup tops and knickers to your knees
Ah, do you remember these
The hit parade, grape Kool-Aid, The Sadie Hawkins Dance
Pedal pushers, duck tail hair, and peggin' your pants
Howdy Doody, Tutti-Frutti, the seam up the back of her hose
Ah, do you remember those
James Dean, he was keen, Sunday movies were taboo
The Senior Prom, Judy's mom, rock and roll was new
Cracker Jack prize, stars in your eyes, ask daddy for the keys
Ah, do you remember these
The boogey man, lemonade stand, and takin' your tonsils out
(that boogey man scares
me today!)
Indian burn,, and wait your turn, and four foul balls you're out
Cigarette loads, and secret codes, and savin' lucky stars
Can you remember back that far
The boat neck shirts, and fender skirts, and crinoline petticoats
Mum's the word, and a dirty bird, and a double root beer float
Moon hub caps, and loud heel taps, and he's a real gone cat
Ah, do you remember that
Dancin' close, little moron jokes, and cooties in her hair
Captain Midnight, Ovaltine, and The Whip at the County Fair
Charles Atlas Course, Roy Roger's Horse, and only The Shadow knows
Ah, do you remember those
Gable's charm, Frog in your arm, loud mufflers, pitchin' woo
Going steady, Veronica and Betty, white bucks, and Blue Suede Shoes
Knock Knock jokes, and who's there; Dewey, Dewey who
Do we remember these, yes we do; ah do we, do we remember these?
Thanks for taking this
little trip down memory lane; hope you enjoyed it!

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is..
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

GREAT TIPS FOR HEALTH
Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve
headache pain almost immediately -- without the
unpleasant side effects caused by traditional "pain
relievers."
Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve
for burns?
Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler
filled with
mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously
strong Altoids peppermints.
They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Achy muscles from about of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of
horseradish in a cup of olive oil.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage
oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey
and take 1 tablespoon
six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve
two
tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the
symptoms.
Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections
almost
instantly -- even though the product has never been advertised
for this use.
Eliminate puffiness under your eyes..... All you need is a dab
of
preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the
eyes. The
hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the
swelling instantly.
Might give you a crappy outlook too?
Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a
dab of honey and
place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the
skin, sterile,
and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of
unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine
mouthwash.
The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy
again.
Easy eyeglass protection... To prevent the screws in
eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of
Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the
screws before tightening them.
Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust
removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with
Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the
coke is what gets the job done.
Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing
bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get
in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray
of Formula 409.
Insects drop to the ground instantly.
Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmers Glue all
over the splinter, let dry, and peel
the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried
glue.
Hunt's tomato paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's
tomato paste as a compress.
The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil
to a head.
Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab
on a few drops of Listerine...
a powerful antiseptic.
Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white
vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1
hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the
healing process.
Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the
trick. Add a
few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal
thoroughly.
Rinse well to avoid skin irritations.
Goodbye fleas.
Rainy day cure for dog odour... Next time your dog comes in
from the rain,
simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet,
instantly
making your dog smell springtime fresh.
Eliminate ear mites... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson
corn oil in your cat's ear.
Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily
for 3 days. The oil soothes
the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing.
Vaseline cure for hair balls..... To prevent troublesome hair
balls, apply a dollop of
Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The cat will lick
off the jelly, lubricating any
hair in its stomach so it can pass easily through the
digestive system.
Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not just for
breakfast anymore! Mix 2 cups of
Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the
microwave for 1 minute,
cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for
soothing relief from arthritis pain.
Subject: Very Good Point - Iraq's
biting the hand that feeds them!!
I got this in email this morning... just passing
it on... I am
not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...
however, I think it is vitally important
that in my head I have these matters in proper Perspective..
* Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death in
human meat grinders on a daily basis... NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...
* Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings,
while their relatives were forced to watch... NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB
COMMUNITY...
* Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped of,
and even beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR
THE ARAB COMMUNITY...
* Saddam's sons, as well as other Administrators and
military personnel raped and sodomized Iraqi girls, some as young as 8 years
old, on a daily basis...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...
* Saddam's regime indiscriminately put to death
millions of Iraqi citizens on a daily basis, during the term of his brutal
dictatorship, as evidenced by the mass graves recently uncovered in various
parts of Iraq...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB
COMMUNITY...
* Terrorists recently exploded several car bombs in
Baghdad, killing 17 innocent Iraqi children and several dozen innocent Iraqi
citizens...
NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE
OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...
* Terrorists have been killing American/Coalition
soldiers on a daily basis since we sent our troops, many of whom gave their
lives on Iraqi soil, used US taxpayer dollars to liberate the Iraqi people... NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI
PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...
* Four Americans were killed in Fallujah, their
bodies were burned, mutilated, drug through the streets and hung on a
bridge...while Iraqi people cheered and stoned the bodies... NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE
ARAB COMMUNITY...
AND NOW, A FEW IRAQI PRISONERS HAVE BEEN
HUMILIATED (poor babies)...
A PAIR OF WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR PUT ON THE PRISONERS HEADS,
A FEW NAKED
PHOTOGRAPHS...AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE AND THE ENTIRE ARAB
COMMUNITY GO
BALLISTIC...
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
As I said, I don't condone what happened to the
prisoners...but until the Iraqi's and the Arab Community gets their act
together... I wish the AMERICAN NEWS ELITE would stop being part of the
problem and stop using this story to the benefit of the Arab community.
ARABS CUT OFF THE HEAD OF AN AMERICAN AND SHOWED THE
WHOLE PROCEDURE ON ARAB TV.
COMPARE THAT TO A FEW PICTURES OF HUMILIATED
IRAQI PRISONERS.
ITS TIME TO HEAR SOME OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE &
COMMUNITY ON IRAQI TV NOW --- OR
TELL THEM WE ARE BRINGING OUR AMERICAN TROOPS HOME.
I DON'T WANT MY PRESIDENT TO APOLOGIZE TO THE ARABS FOR
ANYTHING!
WE ARE AT WAR!!!
DON'T FORGET IT FOR A MINUTE.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND OUR PRESIDENT!
CERTAINLY MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK ... DOESN'T IT ?
A story tells that two friends
were walking
through the desert
During some point of the
journey they had an
argument, and one friend
slapped the other one
in the face.
The one who got slapped
was hurt, but without
saying anything,
wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
They kept on walking
until they found an oasis,
where they decided
to take a bath.
The one who had been
slapped got stuck in the
mire and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from
the near drowning,
he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE.
The friend who had slapped
and saved his best friend
asked him, "After I hurt you,
you wrote in the sand and now,
you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied
"When someone hurts us
we should write it down
in sand where winds of
forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does
something good for us,
we must engrave it in stone
where no wind
can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a
minute to find a special
person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day
to love them, but then
an entire life
to forget them.
Send this site to the people you'll never
forget. If you don't send it to anyone,
it means you're in a hurry and that you've
forgotten your friends.
Take the time to live! Do not value the THINGS
you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your
life!
A poem that gives you goosebumps!
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six-car pileup
On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about
And blood was everywhere,
The sirens screamed out ulogies,
For death was in the air.
A mother, trapped inside her car,
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
"Oh, God, please spare my boys!"
She fought to loose her pinned hands;
She struggled to get free,
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
On where the back seat once had been,
But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
She did not hear them cry,
And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,
"Oh, God, don't let them die!"
Then firemen came and cut her loose,
But when they searched the back,
They found therein no little boys,
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad
And was traveling alone,
But when they turned to question her,
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
In beseeching supplication,
"Please help me find my boys!
They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
Their jeans are blue to match."
One cop spoke up, "They're in my car,
And they don't have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
And gave them each a cone,
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home.
I've searched the area high and low,
But I can't find their dad.
He must have fled the scene,
I guess, and that is very bad."
The mother hugged the twins and said,
While wiping at a tear,
"He could not flee the scene, you see,
For he's been dead a year."
The cop just looked confused and asked,
"Now, how can that be true?"
The boys said, "Mommy, Daddy came
And left a kiss for you."
He told us not to worry
And that you would be all right,
And then he put us in this car with
The pretty, flashing light.
We wanted him to stay with us,
Because we miss him so,
But Mommy, he just hugged us tight
And said he had to go.
He said someday we'd understand
And told us not to fuss,
And he said to tell you, Mommy,
"He's watching over us."
The mother knew without a doubt
That what they spoke was true,
For she recalled their dad's last words,
"I will watch over you."
The firemen's notes could not explain
The twisted, mangled car,
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
But on the cop's report was scribed,
In print so very fine, An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.
"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare "
The 7 Second Prayer, Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves...
" Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless
me, my > family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen
RAYNER REYES Think about this...
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would
die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they
want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if
they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to
sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good
comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take
a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you
want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably,
sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about
the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel
much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know
that they are great.
Letter Of Apology
Author unknown - sentiment shared.
For good and ill, the Iraqi
prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the one hand, right thinking
Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand,
political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern
day My Lai massacre.
I heard some Arabs are asking
for an apology. I humbly offer mine here:
I am sorry that the last seven times we
Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the
defense of Muslims (Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.).
I am sorry that no such call for an apology
upon the extremists came after 9/11.
I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11
were Arabs.
I am sorry that Arabs have to live in
squalor under savage dictatorships. I am sorry that their leaders squander
their wealth.
I am sorry that their governments breed hate
for the US in their religious schools.
I am sorry that Yassir Arafat was kicked out
of every Arab country and hijacked the Palestinian "cause."
I am sorry that no other Arab country will
take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same
Palestinians.
I am sorry that the USA has to step in and
be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely
wealthy Arabs blame the USA.
I am sorry that our own left wing elite and
our media can't understand any of this.
I am sorry the United Nations scammed the
poor people of Iraq out of the "food for oil" money so they could get rich while
the common folk suffered.
I am sorry that some Arab governments pay
the families of homicide bombers upon their death.
I am sorry that those same bombers are
seeking 72 virgins. I can't seem to find one here on Earth.
I am sorry that the homicide bombers think
babies are a legitimate target.
I am sorry that our troops died to free more
Arabs.
I am sorry they show so much restraint when
their brothers in arms are killed. I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed
more Arabs than any other group.
I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists
are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state.
I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen "Daisy
Cutters" on Fallujah. (Note: a "Daisy Cutter" is a 10,000 lb bomb, used to
clear helicopter landing zones)
I am sorry every time terrorists hide they
find a convenient "Holy Site".
I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving
a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint
Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.
I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight
93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, etc.
I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he
could feed a medium sized village in Africa.
I am sorry the French are french?
America will get past this latest absurdity.
We will punish those responsible because that is what we do. We hang out
our dirty laundry for all the world to see. We move on. That's one of the
reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab
countries that are now demanding an apology.
Deep down inside, when most Americans saw
this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and
made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically
hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners.
Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our
compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed,
mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujans.
If you want an apology from this American,
you're going to have a long wait. You have a better chance of finding
those 72 virgins

The Story of Michael: The Tallest of All Marines Below you will find a letter written by a young marine to his mother after
being wounded on a Korean battlefield in 1950. The Navy chaplain, Father Walter
Muddy, to whom the letter was shown, thoroughly checked the facts with the young
Marine and the sergeant in whose patrol he had served. Having concluded that
that the facts mentioned in the letter had actually occurred, Father Muddy made
the letter public in 1951 before a gathering of 5,000 Marines at the Navla base
in San Diego, California. Since then the letter has been published in newspapers
and magazines, read on the radio and television, all over the world:
Dear Mom,
I wouldn't dare write this letter to anyone but you because no one else would
believe it. Maybe even you will find it hard but I have got to tell somebody.
First off, I am in a hospital. Now don't worry, ya hear me, don't worry. I was
wounded but I am okay you understand. Okay. The doctor says that I will be up
and around in a month.
But that is not what I want to tell you.
Remember when I joined the Marines last year; remember when I left, how you told
me to say a prayer to St. Michael every day. You really didn't have to tell me
that. Ever since I can remember you always told me to pray to St. Michael the
Archangel. You even named me after him. Well I always have.
When I got to Korea, I prayed even harder. Remember the prayer that you taught
me?
"Michael, Michael of the morning fresh crop of Heaven adorning," you know the
rest of it. Well I said it everyday. Sometimes when I was marching or sometimes
resting. But always before I went to sleep. I even got some of the other fellas
to say it.
Well, one day I was with an advance detail way up over the front lines. We were
scouting for the Commies. I was plodding along in the bitter cold, my breath was
like cigar smoke.
I thought I knew every guy in the patrol, when along side of me comes another
Marine I never met before. He was bigger than any other Marine I'd ever seen. He
must have been 6' 4" and built in proportion. It gave me a feeling of security
to have such a body near.
Anyway, there we were trudging along. The rest of the patrol spread out. Just to
start a conversation I said, "Cold ain't it." And then I laughed. Here I was
with a good chance of getting killed any minute and I am talking about the
weather.
My companion seemed to understand. I heard him laugh softly.
I looked at him, "I have never seen you before, I thought I knew every man in
the outfit."
"I just joined at the last minute", he replied. "The name is Michael."
"Is that so," I said surprised. "That is my name too."
"I know," he said and then went on, "Michael, Michael of the morning . . ."
I was too amazed to say anything for a minute. How did he know my name, and a
prayer that you had taught me? Then I smiled to myself, every guy in the outfit
knew about me. Hadn't I taught the prayer to anybody who would listen. Why now
and then, they even referred to me as St. Michael.
Neither of us spoke for a time and then he broke the silence. "We are going to
have some trouble up ahead."
He must have been in fine physical shape or he was breathing so lightly I
couldn't see his breath. Mine poured out in great clouds. There was no smile on
his face now. Trouble ahead, I thought to myself, well with the Commies all
around us, that is no great revelation.
Snow began to fall in great thick globs. In a brief moment the whole countryside
was blotted out. And I was marching in a white fog of wet sticky particles. My
companion disappeared.
"Michael, " I shouted in sudden alarm.
I felt his hand on my arm, his voice was rich and strong, "This will stop
shortly."
His prophecy proved to be correct. In a few minutes the snow stopped as abruptly
as it had begun. The sun was a hard shining disc.
I looked back for the rest of the patrol, there was no one in sight. We lost
them in that heavy fall of snow. I looked ahead as we came over a little rise.
Mom, my heart stopped. There were seven of them. Seven Commies in their padded
pants and jackets and their funny hats. Only there wasn't anything funny about
them now. Seven rifles were aimed at us.
"Down Michael, " I screamed and hit the frozen earth.
I heard those rifles fire almost as one. I heard the bullets. There was Michael
still standing.
Mom, those guys couldn't have missed, not at that range. I expected to see him
literally blown to bits.
But there he stood, making no effort to fire himself. He was paralyzed with
fear. It happens sometimes, Mom, even to the bravest. He was like a bird
fascinated by a snake.
At least, that was what I thought then. I jumped up to pull him down and that
was when I got mine. I felt a sudden flame in my chest. I often wondered what it
felt like to be hit, now I know.
I remember feeling strong arms about me, arms that laid me ever so gently on a
pillow of snow. I opened my eyes, for one last look. I was dying. Maybe I was
even dead, I remember thinking well, this is not so bad.
Maybe I was looking into the sun. Maybe I was in shock. But it seemed I saw
Michael standing erect again only this time his face was shining with a terrible
splendor.
As I say, maybe it was the sun in my eyes, but he seemed to change as I watched
him. He grew bigger, his arms stretched out wide, maybe it was the snow falling
again, but there was a
brightness around him like the wings of an Angel.
In his hand was a sword. A sword that flashed with a million lights.
Well, that is the last thing I remember until the rest of the fellas came up and
found me. I do not know how much time had passed. Now and then I had but a
moment's rest from the pain and fever. I remember telling them of the enemy just
ahead.
"Where is Michael," I asked.
I saw them look at one another. "Where's who?" asked one. "Michael, Michael that
big Marine I was walking with just before the snow squall hit us."
"Kid," said the sergeant, "You weren't walking with anyone. I had my eyes on you
the whole time. You were getting too far out. I was just going to call you in
when you disappeared in the snow."
<> He looked at me, curiously. "How did you do it kid?"
"How'd I do what?" I asked half angry despite my wound. "This marine named
Michael and I were just . . ."
"Son, " said the sergeant kindly, "I picked this outfit myself and there just
ain't another Michael in it. You are the only Mike in it."
He paused for a minute, "Just how did you do it kid? We heard shots. There
hasn't been a shot fired from your rifle. And there isn't a bit of lead in them
seven bodies over the hill there."
I didn't say anything, what could I say. I could only look open-mouthed with
amazement. It was then the sergeant spoke again, "Kid," he said gently,
"everyone of those seven Commies was killed by a sword stroke."
That is all I can tell you Mom. As I say, it may have been the sun in my eyes,
it may have been the cold or the pain. But that is what happened.
Love, Michael
