  Do not stand at my grave and weep.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

I am the flower in the backyard,

Planted there with loving regard.

When you awake in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starshine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.

A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down a road South of

Basra, when they hear a voice call out from behind a sand dune ,

"Jus one Louisiana Cajun soldier is better than ten Iraqi, yeah.... " and I guarontee dat for sure...!!!

 

The Iraqi commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the

dune, where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few

minutes, ... Then silence.

 

The voice once again calls out, ... "I tole you jus One Louisiana Cajun is better

than one hundred Iraqi, and das the truth too...."

 

Furious, ... The Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops

over the dune, and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10

minutes of battle, ... Again silence.

 

The Cajun voice calls out again, ... "Mais sha, how many times I gotta tole you jus' One Louisiana Cajun is

better than one thousand Iraqi soldiers and you otta know dat by now, heh?....."

 

The enraged Iraqi commander musters 1,000 fighters, and sends them

to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns ,

grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is

being fought, .... Then silence.

 

Eventually, .... One badly wounded Iraqi fighter crawls back over

the dune, and with his dying words tells his commander, ...

 

 

"Don't send any more men, ... it's a trap. There's two of them."

when you had scores of b17 s in tight formation .they were a real force to be recond with,they had massive fire power, I find it so sad that the USA, like britain lost so many

young brave men,we must not forget ...

ITS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS

 

Pass on to all people you know who are 50 years old and older.

 

Cardiovascular Exercise

 

The older we get the more important it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. This is necessary to maintain cardiovascular health and maintain muscle mass.

 

If you're over 50, you might want to take it easy at first, then do more

repetitions as you become more proficient and build stamina. Warning: It may be too strenuous for some.

 

Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

 

SCROLL DOWN
