It was mealtime during an airline flight.”Would you like dinner”?,the
flight attendant asked John,seated in front.”What are my choices”,John

Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They
beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time
as Jose, but only collects about eight
or nine dollars a day.
Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase
full of ten dollar bills. He drives a
Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free
house, and has lots of cash to spend.
“Hey, amigo,” Carlos says to Jose, “I
work just as long and hard as you do, so
how come you bring home a suitcase full
of ten dollar bills every day?”
Jose says, “Look at your sign, what does
it say?”
Carlos’ sign reads;
I have no work, a wife and six kids to support.
“What’s wrong with that?” Carlos asks him.
“No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!”
Carlos says, “Alright, so what does your sign say?”
Jose’s sign reads:
I only need ten dollars to get back to Mexico.
Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window
of your local movie theater with $ in your hand.

The troops overseas would like you to know.
Subject: Denzel Washington, and
Brooks Army Medical Center
Don’t know whether you heard about this
but Denzel Washington and his family visited
the troops at Brook Army Medical Center , in
San Antonio , Texas (BAMC) the other day. This
is where soldiers who have been evacuated from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the United
States, especially burn victims There are some
buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher
House is a Hotel where soldiers’ families can stay,
for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying
in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses
on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled
most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave
him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how
much one of them would cost to build. He took his check
book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there
on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear
this story and want to get the word out to the American
public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it
The question is - why do:
Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan,
Paris Hilton,
Tom Cruise and
other Hollywood fluff
make front page news with their ridiculous
antics and Denzel Washington’s Patriotism
doesn’t even make page 3 in the Metro section of
any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San
Antonio?
A true American and friend to all in uniform!
This needs as wide a distribution
as we can create.
Share it!
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!
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 should get 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.
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.
