Whether it was in World War II, or Afghanistan, we must never forget to honor those who fell in the line of duty to protect us back home. With summer slowly creeping in, many use this three-day weekend as an opportunity to enjoy the luxuries that surround us. Are you participating in a Memorial Day parade or ceremony? Maybe you are gathering with friends and family for a day at the beach or making hamburgers on the grill. The warm sun and extra time away from work could make it easy to forget what this day represents. Since the creation of our great nation, men and women have laid down their lives in order to protect us - for that we should be forever indebted. We can't forget that Memorial Day is about honoring those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. We have over 18,000 troops serving in Iraq (5,000) Afghanistan (13,000) and Syria (500), waiting for care packages from home to remind them of what they're fighting for and why they are making such enormous sacrifices.

What we celebrate as Memorial Day today, began at the end of the Civil War. Family members of the many soldiers slain in battle would visit the grave sites of their fallen relatives or friends and decorate the graves with flowers. On May 5, 1868, General John Logan proclaimed this day a holiday through his General Order No. 11. The day was entitled Decoration Day and was first observed on May 30, 1868. The northern states celebrated this day every year, but the southern states celebrated a day similar to this on a different day until sometime after World War I. In 1882, the name Decoration day was changed to Memorial Day, and in 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday to be held on the last Monday of May every year. Over the years it has come to serve as a day to remember all U.S. men and women killed or missing in action in all wars. I am truly grateful for the freedoms which we enjoy today. Too often, we take these gifts for granted, little realizing the sacrifice which was involved in ensuring that these freedoms continue to be a part of all our lives. Be honest, how many of us think of Memorial Day as just another chance for a three-day weekend? A chance to go the lakes or beaches or mountains? A trip to Disneyland or Six Flags or some other amusement/theme park? I know there are probably some people on the GCF mailing list who might not agree with my views in these special emails, but as a former Hospital Corpsman (US Navy), I want to give my humble thanks to those who gave their lives so that we have the right to disagree with each other. If you are here in the United States, please remember to display the flag, not just for the day but for the whole weekend. Let's not forget the real reason for having this holiday. The quotes below say it all. Please take the time to read them. Take care everyone. Tom (HM2, USN 65-69) "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But most of them were boys when they died, they gave up two lives -- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for their county, for us. All we can do is remember." -- Ronald Wilson Reagan Remarks at Veteran's Day ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery Arlington, Virginia, November 11, 1985 "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -- Ronald Wilson Reagan Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce March 30, 1961 ---------------------------------------------------------- Let's all pause and take a minute to REMEMBER. Pearl Harbor 1941 ... Normandy 1944 ... Pork Chop Hill Korea 1953 ... Tet Offensive Vietnam 1968 ... Desert Storm Kuwait 1991 ... The World Trade Center 9/11 2001 ... Shock and Awe Iraq 2003 ... Iraq War Surge 2007 ... Afghanistan TODAY. After having taken a minute to REMEMBER Let's take one more minute to say THANK YOU for all that was given, all that was lost and all that was gained for us to enjoy our Hot-Dogs, Soft Ball, Picnics, Swimming Pools, Beaches, Iced Tea and Kids in Peace in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------- A final thought and addition to the words above..... Over the years the meaning of Memorial Day has faded too much from the public consciousness. From a solemn day of mourning, remembrance, and honor to the men and women who died in providing the freedoms we enjoy, it has been reduced to a weekend of BBQ's, shopping bargains and beaches where only token nods toward our honored dead is given, if at all. Too many don't know what the day stands for. So, let's not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. They are remembered in all our prayers. Also, let's not forget a prayer for the safety of all service men and women, whether they serve at home or overseas. Finally, a heartfelt Semper Fi from this former Hospital Corpsman is sent to all the Marines I knew. -Tom -<>- >Interruptions After many interruptions from her young son, a woman trying to choose a greeting card tried to get a moment to finalize her selection. She said, "I do not want to hear the word 'Mom' for five minutes." Seconds later, the boy tugged her skirt and said, "Excuse me, lady." -<>- >I am the Boss This man was talking to a group of men at the office and he said, "In my house I am the boss, I say when the laundry is done, when the cooking is done and when the dishes are washed." One of the guys at the table said, "How long have you been married?" The man says, "Oh, I'm not married!" -<>- >Home for Dinner John brought his new colleague, Peter, home for dinner. As they arrived at the door his wife rushed up, threw her arms around John and kissed him passionately. "My goodness", said Peter, "and how long have you been married?" "22 years", replied John. "You must have a fantastic marriage if your wife greets you like that after all those years." "Don't be fooled! She only does it to make the dog jealous." -<>- >Exhaust Fan My husband and I were building a sunroom to accommodate our new hot tub. The project soon turned into a money pit. During one of our numerous trips to the hardware store, my husband inquired about exhaust fans. The store clerk looked them up on the computer and praised one fan in particular because it was exceptionally quiet. After asking the clerk for the price, he sighed and said, "Do you have anything louder?" -<>- >Making New Friends New to town, I was eager to meet people and make friends. So one day I struck up a conversation with the only other woman in the gym. Pointing to two men playing racquetball in a nearby court, I said to her, "There's my husband." Then I added, "The thin one -- not the fat one." After a slightly uncomfortable silence she replied, "And that's my husband -- the fat one." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :) _ (_) <___> | |______ | |* * * ) | | * * (_________ | |* * * |* *|####) | | * * *| * | (________________ | |* * * |* *|####|##############| | | * * *| * | | | | |* * * |* *|####|##############| | |~~~~~~| * | | | | |######|* *|####|##############| | | |~~~' | | | |######|########|##############| | | | | | | |######|########|##############| | |~~~~~~| | | | | |########|##############| | | '~~~~~~~~| | | | |##########JGS#| | | '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | | | | >SMILES A woman goes to the police station to report that her husband was missing. "Can you give me a description of him?" asked the officer. "He's short and bald and skinny and wrinkled and wears dentures," answered the woman. "Come to think of it, most of him was missing before he was." -------- A little old man was escorted into the witness box. After he was sworn in, the lawyer asked him to explain what happened. After a lengthy discussion of the events leading up to the incident, he finally got around to the meat of the case: "... and then she hit me with a maple leaf." "Surely that couldn't have caused you any serious injury?" said the lawyer. "Are you kidding?" exclaimed the old man. "It was the leaf from our dining room table!" -------- Mary was discussing the various aspects and possible outcome of an insurance policy with the clerk at the insurance agency. During the discussion, she asked, "Suppose I take the life insurance for my husband today for a million dollars, and tomorrow he dies? What will I get?" The clerk eyed her suspiciously and replied, "Probably a life sentence." -------- A friend of mine claims this happened to a friend of hers: She had a wedding to go to, and needed a wedding gift. Aha, thought she, I have that monogrammed silver tray from my wedding that I never use. I'll just take it to a silversmith and have him remove my monogram and put hers on it. And you have one cheap wedding present! So she took it to the silversmith and asked him to remove her monogram and put the new one on. The silversmith took a look at the tray, shook his head, and said, "Lady, you can only do this so many times!" ------- At our family picnic, my mother insisted that I had to wash my hands before eating. I protested that they weren't dirty and that the rest rooms were far away, but Mother prevailed (as they always do) and I went and washed up. Later, as I was standing with a full plate of food, my hamburger slid off the plate and onto the grass. Understandably distressed, I said, "Mo-o-om!" and started to tear up. My mother said, "Oh, pick it up. A little dirt never hurt anyone." ------- After years of nagging, the wife was finally going deer hunting with her husband. "I'll drop you off here and go park the car. Don't get into trouble". says her husband. He drove the car down the road and parked it. Walking back he could hear a heated argument between his wife and some man. "It's my deer. I shot it!" he could hear his wife shouting. The man's voice kept insisting...."That's not your deer, lady" The husband started walking faster. His wife said "It is TOO my deer. I shot it and it's mine." "No it's not" said the man. The argument got louder and louder with his wife shouting about her killing her first deer. Finally, the weary voice of the man was heard admitting defeat. "Okay, lady, it's YOUR deer. Just let me get the saddle off it.........." -------- It was a quiet day on the Ark and Noah was getting bored, so he told his wife that he was going to relieve the tedium by going off on a fishing expedition. "That's a good idea," she said. "You could do with a break." Noah collected his equipment and set off, but thirty minutes later he was back and still complaining that he was bored. His wife said: "I didn't expect you back so soon. If you're that bored, why did you stop fishing after only half an hour?" Noah replied, "I only had two worms." -------- "Did you give the prisoner the third degree?" asked the police sergeant. "Yeah, we browbeat him, asking every question we could." answered the arresting officer. "And did you get a confession?" asked the sergeant. "Not exactly." replied the officer. "All he said was, 'Yes Dear,' and dozed off." -------- Brit is visiting California for the first time, and is conversing with a California native. He says, "I'll be visiting La Jolla (lah-JOLL-a) next week." The Californian replies, "Oh, you mean, 'La-HOY-a?'" "Oh. Yeah, I guess so." Then he adds, "but right now I'm staying in El Cajon (el-ca-JOHN)..." Again the Californian corrects him, "You mean, El Ca-'HONE?'" "Oh. Yeah, right...." Then the Californian asks, "So when will you be returning home?" The Brit thinks about it for a minute. Then he answers, "Oh, I don't know. I guess sometime in 'HUNE' or 'HULY.'" -<>- >RAMBLINGS OF A RETIRED MIND... (or in my case) RAMBLINGS OF A "TIRED MIND!" I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walks over to me and asks, "what brings you in today?" I looked at her, and said, I'm interested in buying a refrigerator. She didn't quite know how to respond. Am I getting to be that age? ---------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So I'm wearing my garage door opener. ---------------------------------------------------------- You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans! ---------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it. ---------------------------------------------------------- I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and call it Pumping Rust.' ---------------------------------------------------------- When people see a cat's litter box they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!' ---------------------------------------------------------- Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'An ambulance!' ---------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals. As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve. ---------------------------------------------------------- Birds of a feather flock together... and then crap on your car. ---------------------------------------------------------- The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends. ---------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. ---------------------------------------------------------- The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs!' ---------------------------------------------------------- Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. ---------------------------------------------------------- Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved. ---------------------------------------------------------- You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. ---------------------------------------------------------- Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is... comfortable. ---------------------------------------------------------- Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. --- ...LOL!

He was told to meet the inspector at the signal box. The inspector asked, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading for each other on the same track?" Billy Bob replied, "I would switch the points for one of the trains." "What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector. "Then I'd dash down out of the signal box," said Billy Bob, "and I'd use the manual lever over there." "What if that had been struck by lightning?" "Then," Billy Bob continued, "I'd run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box." "What if the phone was busy?" "Well in that case," persevered Billy Bob, "I'd rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there." "What if that was vandalized?" "Oh, well then I'd run into town and go get my Uncle Lester." This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?" Billy Bob answered, "Well, Uncle Lester ain't never seen a train wreck!" ------- A coffin maker was on his way to deliver one of his coffins, in the process, his car broke down. Trying not to be late, he put the coffin on his head and began heading to his destination. A police officer saw him and told him to stop, so he asked: "Hey, what are you carrying and where are you going"? The man replied "I do not like where I was buried so I am relocating." The policeman fainted! ------- A woman comes home and tells her husband, “Remember those headaches I’ve been having all these years? Well, they’re gone.” “No more headaches?” the husband asks, “What happened?” His wife replies, “Margie referred me to a hypnotist. He told me to stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat, ‘I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache.’ It worked! The headaches are all gone.” The husband replies, “Well, that’s wonderful.” His wife then says, “You know, you haven’t exactly been a ball of fire in the bedroom these last few years. Why don’t you go see the hypnotist and see if he can do anything for that?” The husband agrees to try it. The evening after his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his clothes, picks up his wife, and carries her into the bedroom. He puts her on the bed and says, “Don’t move, I’ll be right back.” He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later, jumps into bed, and makes passionate love to his wife like never before. His wife says, “Wow! That was wonderful!” The next day, after dinner, the husband carries the wife to the bedroom again, sits her on the bed and runs quickly to the bathroom. When he comes back, they make love again that gets her head spinning. Same happens the next day, but this time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the bathroom, she sees him standing in front of the mirror, saying, “She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife.” ------- As I was driving home this week and worrying about all the stuff going on in my life, my family's lives, my friends lives, and whats happening in Washington, Moscow, Ukraine, the Middle East, Hillary, Email-gate, Benghazi, Slick Willy, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Jeb, Trump, MSNBC, Fox News, and how America is in so much trouble!

Thanks Geniann! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: I realize that since the economy has been improving (supposedly), lenders are being a bit more generous with their terms, but even still, approving a personal loan to buy meth seems a little risky. Maybe that's why police in South Carolina arrested 58-year- old Grady Carson after he walked into Carolina Title Loans office in Spartanburg to secure a loan against his vehicle. According to its web site, the loan company provides "fast cash to deal with an unexpected expense" and charges interest rates that begin at 96 percent. But that didn't deter Carson. A Carolina Title Loans employee told police that Carson--who was pacing as he filled out paperwork--told her he "needed the money to purchase meth." Since her manager was at another store, the worker "faxed a help letter" to the second employee, who contacted police. When officers arrived at the loan business, Carson was hand- cuffed and a search of his pockets turned up "a glass container with a off white rock like substance inside." Carson, cops noted, "stated it was cocaine but he was not going to smoke it because he did meth." Carson was charged with narcotics possession and booked into the county jail. -<>- They may not be the most practical, but Chileans definitely have a flair for the dramatic. This was demonstrated by one Chilean man who tried to commit suicide by lion. How do you do that? Well, first you have to find some lions. Any reasonable sized zoo will do. This particular man, Franco Luis Ferrada Roman, decided he had better be naked for this adventure, too. "We believe that this person entered as a visitor and paid for his ticket," zoo director Alejandra Montalva said. "Later he trespassed into an area where the public are not normally allowed and we understand that he forced the roof of the lion's enclosure," she said. "It was from there that he jumped, took off his clothes and started to attract the lions." Once inside the lions began "playing" with him. Whether they were trying to kill him or not, they ended up mauling him badly. As there were no quick acting tranquilizers available at the time of the incident, zoo officials intervened and shot the lions dead in order to save the man's life. Roman suvived but is in grave condition. Montalva told local media that she was "deeply affected" by the deaths of the two adult lions, one male and one female. Many on social media agreed with her, and expressed outrage that the lions were killed because of the selfish act of one man. *-- Escaped Inmate returns With SUV For Friends --* There is minimum-security, and then there is why bother? Alaska State Troopers said a man who escaped from a minimum- security facility returned three hours later with an SUV to pick up some of his fellow inmates. Troopers said in a dispatch that Joshua Yaska, 20, was seen riding a bicycle away from Fairbanks' North Star Center correctional facility about 1:05 a.m. Investigators said Yaska returned about 4:20 a.m. with an Isuzu SUV, which he used to transport an undisclosed number of his fellow inmates away from the facility. The halfway house holds up to 143 minimum-security inmates and staff are instructed not to physically restrain the inmates from leaving the building. Yaska was being housed at the North Star Center while awaiting trail for charges of misdemeanor theft and making a false report. Yaska remained on the loose as of Monday. *------------ You're Doing It Wrong ------------* A mother was arrested after her child fell unconscious when she sat on his head for one hour. In any other circumstance this would be nothing more than a kinky fetish story, but police in Georgia said the victim was the woman's own 2-year-old. 36-year-old Susan Elizabeth Kelley is accused of placing a towel on the seat of a wooden dining room chair before she put the child's head on it. She then proceeded to sit on the child's head with her full body weight for about one hour. She allegedly told authorities that she did so to get the child to be submissive. Again; she's been watching too much fetish porn in the Internets. When the boy became unconscious, he was taken to a hospital. Doctors called police after seeing the boy with redness on the head, chest and back. He is expected to make a full recovery. *-- Being Polite to Cop Leads to Man's Arrest --* Politely holding a door open for a police officer has landed a Massachusetts man in jail. Authorities say Kayvon Mavaddat was at the Natick Mall when he held the door for the leaving officer. That officer thought Mavaddat looked familiar, and went to check his cruiser's computer. The officer found there were three warrants out for his arrest. The officer returned to the mall and arrested Mavaddat. 28-year-old Mavaddat was held without bail at his arraignment when his probation officer told the judge he routinely skips court dates, court- ordered drug tests and fails to pay probation fees. *-- Fake Cop Tases Man In Road Rage Incident --* A Massachusetts woman is facing charges after police say she pretended to be a police officer and tased a man in a road rage incident. Police received a report from a man and his girlfriend saying Shunae Allen, 35, was "riding their bumper and honking her horn while frantically flashing her lights." Allen allegedly followed the couple as they pulled over into a parking lot. Witnesses told police they saw Allen and the man arguing. The man told police Allen approached their car, opened the front passenger door where he was seated and tased him before telling them she was a police officer with a license to carry. Police arrested Allen but were not able to find the taser. She is charged with impersonating a police officer and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: ======;===========;() #######:::::: #######:::::: #######:::::: jgs #######:::::: ############# ############# ############# ############# ############# ############# A man was trying to pull out of a parking place, and bashed the bumper of the parked car in front of him. Witnessed by a handful of pedestrians waiting for a bus, the driver got out, inspected the damage, and proceeded to write a note to leave on the windshield of the car he had hit. The note read: "Hello. I have just hit your car, and there are some people here watching me who think that I am writing this note to leave you my name and phone number. You should be so lucky!" -<>- A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop pretty high, the zoo officials put up an 8-foot fence. The next morning, however, the kangaroo was out again, idly roaming around the zoo. The zoo officials raised the height of the fence to ten feet. Again, however, the next morning the kangaroo was again roaming about the zoo. This kept on, night after night, until the fence was 20 feet high. Finally, the camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?" The kangaroo replied, "Who knows? Maybe 50 feet. Unless some- body starts locking the gate at night." -<>- A woman was in court charged with the attempted murder of her husband. "But why did you stab him over a hundred times?" asked the judge. "Oh, your Honor," replied the defendant, "It wasn't my fault. didn't know how to switch off the electric carving knife!" -<>- A baby turtle was standing at the bottom of a large tree and with a deep sigh, started to climb. About an hour later, he reached a very high branch and walked along to the end. He turned and spread all four flippers and launched himself off the branch. On landing at the bottom in a pile of soft, dead leaves, he shook himself off, walked back to the bottom of the tree and with a sigh started to climb. About an hour later, he again reached the very high branch, walked along, turned, spread his flippers and flung himself off the branch. Again, he landed on the bottom, shook himself off, went to the bottom of the tree, sighed and started climbing. Watching these proceedings from the end of the branch were two little birds. Mommy bird turned to Daddy bird and said, "Don't you think it's time we told him he was adopted?" -<>- As I Mature *********** I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just aren't worth it. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that you can keep vomiting, long after you think you're finished. I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities. I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relation- ship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place! I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it. I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon, and all the less important ones just never go away. -<>- "Are you all right?" my seatmate on the plane asked, after noticing tears roll down my cheeks. "I'm flying my husband's ashes home for burial," I explained, "and it just struck me that this will be our last trip together." "I know how you feel," she said. "I had my horse for 20 years and just put him to sleep last week." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) _.---,_ .' `'. \ __..-'\ }-"` \ /__,,..---.._| \ | |---..__ | / ``"-./ .'---...__ | .' ``"-./ ,--./...,,,__ / '--.'__ __```.-. /._ / ` ` ' `=/.-.|-._) | .-. .-.

Every day, an estimated 100 million views are registered to cat videos and photos. And who can blame us? They're furry, adorable, funny and always seem to take themselves too seriously. Maybe that's how they changed from hated animals associated with witches to the most popular pet in North America and, perhaps, the world. 1. Every year, nearly four million cats are eaten in Asia. 2. On average, cats spend 2/3 of every day sleeping. That means a nine-year-old cat has been awake for only three years of its life. 3.
