By an act of Congress, June 14, 1775 What was then to become the United States Army was founded. Charged with protecting the then colonies, today the Army is a world wide fighting force that protects and projects freedom around the world.

So my friends, if you are reading this, thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, thank a soldier!

2 GM,

Salutes, plaudits, accolades for all the Army has done for America, Americans...not to mention all kinds of countries and peoples around the world.

If one watched CNN and read the NYT all the time, you'd think the Army were nothing but really bad people. Not so! The vast majority have done so very, very much for the rest of us. We, truly, cannot thank them enough.

As I write, many, many soldiers are in harm's way. They are dirty, tired, away from home and putting their lives on the line. Would that all Americans knew how tough it is.

Congratz to Army.

Semper Fidelis,

Old Soldier of the Sea sends

3 One of my favorite sites is Marc Coopers Blog  I mean after all, you have to know what the other side is thinking. And Marc writes very well thank you! Having said that, while surfing there the other day, I came across a new commenter and the comment was labled blue, meaning there was a website or an email address attached. So, being the ingenious, curious fellow that I am, I clicked on The Protrusion  and discovered another "ugh" liberal website. But guess what? This one was well written, humorous, creative, sassy and just outright good, and I said so in a comment in Marc's blog. The Protrusion, in an e-mail back noted cisa dumps
ccvp dumps
mcse braindumps
mcts dumps
microsoft certification dumps
Thanks

The jeans had been influenced by snowflakes and also appointed by diamonds. When shimmering in the light, the jeans would remind you of the snow flying in winter.

6 Does acupuncture infertility go a long way?



As practitioners we struggle from time to time using the believed that maybe, just maybe, acupuncture does not work. As this is our livelihood, the idea that acupuncture may not jobs are a frightening thought.
