They where the greatest generation... Not just the raiders, the whole generation.... After Pearl Harbor, many men joined the service, to fight a war on two fronts half a world a way.

Ships where built in record times.

Women in large numbers joined the work force, in factories, supporting the war effort.

Brave men set out to defy the odds, and attempt dangerous things that had never been tried on the battlefield before.

Mass amounts of supplies moved extremely large distances for the war in the Pacific, Africa, and the build up for Operation Overlord.

Men learned to jump from airplanes to the battlefield, which had never been done before.

Ships fought battles on a massive scale.

Let's not forget things like massive bombing raids far behind enemy lines.

Let's not forget the factory workers who actually worked, it wasn't done on automated equipment. Who worked long hours to get the boys the weapons, ammo, grenades, tanks, aircraft, medical supplies, ect that they needed to fight.



Yes, these people where the great goddamned generation. These people and the war brought us out of the depression, and ended two of the nastiest bullies on the block. They advanced technology past anything ever seen before, they pushed the limits in so many ways, not just on the battlefield but here at home as well.

If something happened today, another large scale world war, how many people do you think would be running to enlist? Running to help in factories to produce ammo, food, medical and other supplies? And how many would still be standing waiting in line for their food stamps and welfare checks?

Those of You Born
1930 - 1979

At the end of this Email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, PleaseRead what he Said.
Very well stated, Mr. Leno.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!

First, we survived being born to mothers Who smoked and/or drank while they were Pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, Tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles,
Locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode
Our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children,
We would ride in cars with no car seats,
No booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.

Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day
Was always a special treat.

We drank water
From the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends,
From one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon..
We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And, we weren't overweight.
WHY?

Because we were
Always outside playing...that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day,
As long as we were back when the
Streetlights came on.

No one was able
To reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps
And then ride them down the hill, only to find out
We forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes
a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes.
There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable,
No video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's,
No cell phones, No personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS
And we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth
And there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt,
And the worms did not live in us
Forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and,
Although we were told it would happen,
We did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and
Knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just
Walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn't had to learn to deal
With disappointment.
Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law
Was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best
Risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years
Have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility,
and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them?
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others
who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the
lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives
for our own good .

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know
how brave and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house
with scissors, doesn't it ?

The quote of the
month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control,
mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms
tearing up the country from one end to another,
and with the threat of swine flu
and terrorist attacks.
Are we sure this is a good time
to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us.. ..go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of
us...pass this on.
A Small Prayer!

God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

I need this back. If you'll do this for me, I'll do it for you.

When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.

Father,
God bless my friend in whatever it is that You know they may need this day!
And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity, and power
as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you.
Amen.

[golddigger14s]

We also survived that bike helmets were non-existent, and don't forget lawn darts.

When money was backed by something of value.

Paper money said " Pay to the bearer on demand. "

Which meant, you could tell your bank to take the paper bills, and give you gold or silver in exchange, rightfuckingnow.

Now, your money says " This note is legal tender for all DEBTS, public and private. "

Which means, it is totally fucking worthless unless someone thinks it has value to pay off a debt.

Now, that - is fucked up.

CANNON BALLS!!!


It was necessary
to keep a good supply of cannon balls near the cannon on
old war ships. But, how to prevent them from rolling about
the deck was the problem. The storage method devised was
to stack them as a square based pyramid, with one ball on top,
resting on four, resting on nine, which rested on sixteen.


Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be
stacked in a small area right next to the
cannon. There was only one problem --
how to prevent the bottom layer from
sliding/rolling from under the others.


The solution was a metal plate with 16 round
indentations, called, for reasons unknown,
a Monkey. But if this plate were made of iron,
the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The
solution to the rusting problem was to make
them of brass - hence, Brass Monkeys.

Few landlubbers realize that brass
contracts much more and much faster than
iron when chilled.

Consequently, when the temperature dropped
too far, the brass indentations would shrink so
much that the iron cannon balls would come
right off the monkey.

Thus, it was quite literally, cold enough
to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. And all this
time, folks thought that was just a vulgar expression?

You must send this fabulous bit of historical
knowledge to at least a few intellectual friends.

BARACK OBAMA RATED 5th BEST PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY.
From a total of 44 US Presidents: Obama is rated as the fifth best.
Texas A&M's Public Relations Office released this statement "After
almost six years in office, Americans have rated President Obama the
fifth best President ever.
These are the details according to Texas A&M:

1. Reagan & Lincoln tied for first,
2. Twenty three presidents tied for second,
3. Seventeen other presidents tied for third,
4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth,
5. Obama came in fifth.

So, give that guy a gold medal. Oh. Wait. They gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. Nevermind.

US Navy says... nope. http://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-t ... onkey.html

Royal British Navy was around a few centuries earlier. So was the brass monkey.

Really too easy to have you bite like a trout lately.

The US navy was born of British naval tradition. Really easy to have you ignore quality facts of late. Here, the British say it's not provable. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/de ... #brass__22

I can debunk your no school shootings prior to 1934 too if you'd like more facts to ignore.
