MaryAnn & Suzie& Terry.thank u re: your kind words..he's on Motrin every couple of hours so he's in no pain but I'm sure eventually as he heals it will be itchy and he'll want to scratch but I hope by that time he'll have bandages on..(Dr.wants him to get air on the burns-no bandage yet) I'll let u know after his Dr's appt.this afternoon. thanks again everybody..........

Anna ....any burn is serious. Especially that it doesnt get infected
This is a not so vivid pic ....of my son Vinny's leg ...he had 3rd degree
burns....his pant leg caught on fire at work from a blow torch. He was
in the burn center for months and it took a year to completely heal.
This is after the skin graph from his thigh was stapled to his burn.
when it 1st happened it didnt look this bad......but then the swelling
and bubbling with water blisters formed and when that pops its really
dangerous. So please make sure they are on top of the doctors for this!
Especially since its on his face and ear...that poor thing!




sorry about the gross pic....Anthony post some music so we get off this
page soon!

At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country's prior actions, here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.






These
are good









JFK'S
Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when
DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaule said he wanted all US
military out of France as soon as possible.



Rusk responded,
"Does that include those who are buried here?"



DeGuale
did not respond.






You
could have heard a pin drop.















When in England ,
at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the
Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of
'empire building' by George Bush.



He answered by saying,
"Over the years, the United States has sent many of
its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom
beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for
in return is enough to bury those that did not
return."






You
could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There was a conference in France
where a number of international engineers
were taking part, including French and American. During a break,
one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you
heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft
carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he
intend to do, bomb them?"


A Boeing engineer
stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three
hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are
nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to
shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to
feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand
gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a
dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and
from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships;
how many does France have?"




You
could have heard a pin drop.

A U.S. Navy Admiral
was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large
group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that
we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?"


Without hesitating,
the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the
Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't
have to speak German."





You
could have heard a pin drop.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


AND
THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...


Robert Whiting,
an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport
in his carry on.


"You
have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked
sarcastically.


Mr. Whiting
admitted that he had been to France
previously.


"Then
you should know enough to have your passport ready."


The American said,
"The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."


"Impossible.
Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"


The American senior
gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he
quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in
1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen
to show a passport to."




You
could have heard a pin drop.

If
you are proud to be an American, pass this on! If not, delete it.




I am proud to be of this land, AMERICA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARYANN

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND..
