Reported on the news that a woman went to the hospital on Christmas eve to give birth and went into cardiac arrest, they said she was dead no pulse nothing her skin pallor was grey.

I have no way of explaining this other than a Christmas miracle. They are both doing fine with no signs of after affects. Continue

I hope that our members will take the time to consider the less fortunate people who are strugeling and if possible lend a helping hand.

December 7, 1941, a day that is burned into the minds of many of us. I hope that our members took a little time to reflect on that day as the day that brought us into World War TWO.

I was thinking that it might be nice for our members to post their Christmas memories about the things that brought them joy. Mine is the year when I was abought 13 tears old and we did not have much, but were somewhat of a happy family, dad was the only bread winner in a family of 7, I was attending grade school and they had a drawing for the classroom christmas tree and I won. Then my dad bought some old bikes and proceded to take parts from each and built a bike for me. The funny thing was th… Continue

Having just wachted CSpan and seeing and hearing Toby speak, I have even more respect for him. He expressed what many of us feel. He gives of his time for our men and women in uniform without trying to get accolaids. In the press he is vilafied for his belief, I say God Bless him for what he does. He is not only a good entertainer but a great American. Having served my country in the Navy, I feel we need more like him. I would, someday like to be able to shake his hand and thank him for what he… Continue

Just heard that OJ has finally been brought to justice. The jury in Los Vegas found him guilty on all counts. I imagine he thought he was invincible and thought he could avoid prosicution on any crime he might commit. Hopefully justice does prevail. Continue
