Just a little something I would like
to pass on to all of you.
Something I would like you to join me
in doing on May 29, 2006, Memorial Day.

 

At 3 p.m. on Memorial Day,
Major League Baseball games will stop,
Amtrak train whistles will blast,
and thousands of Americans
will pause for the Memorial Day
National Moment of Remembrance.
 
Nascar, military installations,
veterans service organizations,
schools, universities, hospitals,'
national parks, airports, bus lines,
and the International Space Station
will also join in.
 
What I am asking you is,
wherever you are or whatever
you are doing at 3 p.m E.T.,
PLEASE join in this nationwide
moment of reflection.
 
A great man once said:
"And so, my fellow Americans,
ask not what your country
can do for you;
ask what you can do
for your country."
 
It's time for us to stand
together and show our support
for our Military now and for those
who Died fighting for the freedoms
we all enjoy today.
 
It's time to be an American!
 
My Thanks to all of you.
And GOD Bless ALL of You!

 

 

"G.I. Insurance"

 

 

Private Smith was assigned to the induction center, where he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.

 

It wasn't long before the Captain noticed Smith had almost an 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before.

 

Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Smith's sales pitch.

 

Smith explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said:  "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries.  If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000."

 

"Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

 

 

"Naval Student"

 

 

A young naval student was being rigorously tested orally by an old sea captain.

Captain:  "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on starboard?"
Student:  "Throw out an anchor, sir."
Captain:  "What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"
Student:  "Throw out another anchor, sir."
Captain:  "Suppose another horrendous storm sprang up forward, what would you do?
Student:  "Throw out another anchor, sir.
Captain:  "Hold on.  Where are you getting all those anchors from?
Student:  "From the same place you are getting your storms, sir."

 

 

"Payback"

 

 

A soldier was being reprimanded by an officer after he lost his rifle and was informed he would have to pay for it. 

 

The soldier asked, "Sir, if I lost a tank, would I have to pay for it?"

 

"Yes!" roared the officer "even if it took the rest of your life!"

 

The young soldier shook his head and tremulously asserted, "Now I know why the captain goes down with his ship!"

 

 

Have a Blessed Memorial Day
