News Flash - Another boat intercepted off the Texas coast!!


The Navy intercepted a boatload of people off the Texas coast today.



This placed the Navy in an awkward position, as the boat was not heading to the US, but towards Mexico and central America.



Another surprise finding was the people were white American retirement age seniors.  Their claim was that they were trying to get to Central America or Southern Mexico they wanted to return to the US as illegal immigrants.  Then they would be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate American retirees.



It is believed the Navy gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey.



We are booking on the next boat out.  Let me know if you want to join us.

Question:

On
Jeopardy the other night, the final question was

How long does he hesitate after his about face
to begin his return
walk and why?



21
seconds for the same reason as answer number
1


3.
Why are his gloves wet?

He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path,he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.


5.
How often are the guards changed?


Guards
are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a

For
a

person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he
must be
between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and
his waist size cannot exceed 30.


They
must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb,
live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot
drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of
their lives. They cannot swear in public for the
rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the
uniform or the tomb in any way.


After
two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that
is worn on
their lapel signifying they
served as guard of the tomb. There are only
400 presently worn. The guard must obey
these rules for the rest of their
lives or
give up the wreath pin.


The
shoes are specially made with very thick soles
to keep the heat and cold from their feet.
There are metal heel plates that extend to
the top
of the shoe in order to make the loud click as
they come

to a halt.

There are no
wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards
dress for duty
in front of a full-length
mirror.

The first six months of duty a
guard cannot talk to anyone nor
watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175
notable people laid
to rest in
Arlington National Cemetery .
A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:

President Taft,
Joe Louis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most
decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty..
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

In
2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was
approaching Washington ,
DC , our
US Senate/House took 2 days
off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
evening news, it was reported that because of
the dangers from the
hurricane, the military
members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of
the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment. They

respectfully declined the offer, "No way,
Sir!" Soaked to the skin,
marching in the
pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that
guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment,


it was the highest honor that can be
afforded
to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled
continuously,
24/7, since 1930.



God
Bless and keep them.



I'd be
very proud if this email
reached as many as possible. We can be very
proud of our young men
and
women
in the service no matter where they serve.

Fwd: FW: Photos that mean something

Attitude tells a lot about a person.

1.If a hug is needed, don't be shy! 



No one appreciates a firm handshake more than a soldier.


2. If they prefer not to shake hands…


…then a chest bump will do.


Just make sure you do a duck face afterward so they can laugh at you.


3. Admire their medals. They were hard-earned.


4. Always treat their families with great respect.


They have been through more than you could imagine.


5. Laugh with them!


Laughter is a medicine that works 102% of the time.


6. It’s important that you treat a soldier
the way you would treat your own family.


7. If you know a soldier, call them on the 4th of July.


It will make their day!


8. Or you can Skype them.


9. Each soldier has an amazing story.


10. Listen.


Listening is often the best gift you can give someone.


11. Give them a hug!

Soldiers love getting hugged because most of them
are big softies deep down.


12. Do a sport with them.


Soldiers love being active.

President Bush golfs with wounded veterans at the Warrior Open tournament.


13. Make sure you are respectful.


14. Serve them a big dinner if you can. Lots of meat.


15. But if you only have a minute, look them square in the eye…



And say, “Thank you.”



We promise you they will appreciate it.



God Bless America !

Have you seen any photos like these in the last 5 years?

I haven't either . . . .

Fwd: Thinking Outside the Box

Subject: Fwd: Thinking Outside the Box


All school children should be given this question on the first day of school every year and asked to submit a written reply, to be graded, and used as the first test score for that class.
Sadly that will never happen.





If you've never seen this...read it!  If you have seen it, I hope you sent it on.  As a former teacher, I wish I'd thought of this...not to be "Teacher of the Year," but to make my students aware of just how lucky we ALL are to live in the USA!





 There is a great lesson here that the students at Little Rock High School will never forget.  I would presume also that most students would never have given this a thought.

<Untitled.jpeg>
 
NOW SHE IS A TEACHER!
 
In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a history teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
 
'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'
 
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
 
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said.
 
'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'
 
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom.  Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
 
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom.  Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom.  Now I am going to tell you.'
 
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it.  Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk.  The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall.  By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned
 
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you.  They placed the desks here for you.  They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them.  It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens.  They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education.  Don't ever forget it.'
 
By the way, this is a true story.  And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006.  She is the daughter of a WWII POW.
 
Let us always remember the men and women of our military and the rights that they have won for us.

Re: Math Through the Ages


 
Oh....this is good!!!! Too true & that's why we're raising idiots!!!!!



1. Teaching Math In The 1950's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

2. Teaching Math In The 1960's

3. Teaching Math In The 1970's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

4. Teaching Math In The 1980's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Math In 1990's
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok..)

6. Teaching Math In The 2000's
Same question as number 5 but if you have special needs or just feel you need assistance because of race, color, religion, sex, age, childhood memories, criminal background, then don't answer and the correct answer will be provided for you.

Fwd: Fw: At a Tennessee Football Game


At a Tennessee Football Game---not a joke
Christianity is now the target of persecution...
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.
I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. 
Tennessee Football 
This is a statement that was read over the PA system 
at the football game at
 
Roane C ounty High School, Kingston, 
Tennessee, by school principal, Jody McLeod


"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School 
football games, to say a prayer and play the 
National Anthem, to honor God and Country."


Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court,
I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of 
Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at 
this time, I can use this public facility to 
approve of sexual perversion and call it "an 
alternate life style,"and, if someone is offended,
that's OK.


I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing 
condoms and calling it, "safe sex." 
If someone is offended, that's OK.


I can even use this public facility to present the merits of 
killing an unborn baby as a "viable" means of 
birth control."
If someone is offended, no problem...


I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise 
the goddess, "Mother Earth", and call it 
"ecology.."


I can use literature, videos and presentations in the 
classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional 
Christian convictions as 
"simple minded" and "ignorant" 
and call it "enlightenment.."


However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to 
ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good 
sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.


This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, 
diabolical.
Apparently, we are to be 
tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD 
and HIS Commandments.


Nevertheless , 
as a school principal, I frequently ask staff 
and students to abide by rules with which they 
do not necessarily agree.
For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at 
best, and at worst, hypocritical. 
I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally.
I certainly do not need to add an intentional 
transgression.


For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar
that which is Caesar's,"
and refrain from praying at this time.


"However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD
and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this 
event, please feel free to do so
 .. 
As far as I know, that's 
not against the law--yet."


One by one, 
the people in the stands 
bowed their heads, held hands with one another 
and began to pray.


They prayed in the stands. 
They prayed in the team huddles.
They prayed at the concession stand and 
they prayed in the Announcer's Box!


The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court 
of the United States of America- 
the Seat of "Justice"
in the "one nation, 
under GOD."


Somehow, 
Kingston, Tennessee,remembered 
what so many have forgotten.
We are given the 
Freedom OF Religion,
not 
the Freedom
FROM 
Religion
Praise GOD
that HIS remnant remains!


JESUS said,"If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.."


If you are 
not ashamed,
pass this on 
..


I'm not one bit ashamed 
to pass this on, are 
you?
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.
