SICK BAY

community and broke her Pelvic bone. She is undergoing rehab and therapy and
has high hopes of getting her sea legs back by November.
Your prayers are requested for a speedy
recovery.

I never
really liked the term "Old Person" but this makes me feel better
about it.
And if you
aren't one, I bet you know one!
I got
this from an "Old Person" friend of mine!
OLD
PERSON PRIDE
I'm passing
this on as I did not want to be the only old person receiving it. Actually,
it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.
- Old People are easy to spot
at sporting events; during the playing of the National Anthem. Old People
remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment.
They know the words and believe in them.
- Old People remember World
War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal,
Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic
Age, the Korean
War, The Cold
War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus
Peace-keeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam.
- If you bump into an Old
Person on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Person on the
street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old People trust strangers
and are courtly to women.
- Old People hold the door
for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on
the inside for protection.
- Old People get embarrassed
if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any
filth or dirty language on TV or in movies.
- Old People have moral
courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it's about their
children or grandchildren.
- It's the Old People who know our great country
is protected, not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the
military serving their country.
This country needs Old People with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.
We need them now more than ever.
Thank God for Old People.
Pass
this on to all of the "Old People" you know.
I was taught to respect my elders.
It's
just getting harder to find them.
