THE SOLDIER’S CODE

---

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division 5Jun1944 prior to D-Day Normandy

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

And rounding out the top three....Hawaii bags the bronze!!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Happy Birthday Sandy & many happy returns of the day! *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank your Dad for his service to our country. No troops get anywhere without food.

[AZamericonnie]

The commute went well & hope yours will be the same.

The holiday for some seemed to make a quiet day for me for which I am very grateful!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor....great message today. Thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR SANDY!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wind chill does sap energy needed to keep warm.

Do you even have a little space heater?

[luvie]

Jumping up and down
with happiness because
it's your birthday!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

No quibbling from me....LOL!

Hope you had a good work day. Mine seemed really long! But I must say it was productive.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I just started my car....and am headed out. Back in a bit.

[Old Sarge]

Another submarine museum ship is The USS Pampanito, a Balao-class submarine from WWII, now a museum ship in San Francisco, played the part of the USS Stingray in the movie “Down Periscope” with Kelsey Grammer.

[BIGLOOK]

No space heater and I don’t really recommend them. Woolen socks, tried and tested in Michigan, sweatshirts and an extra blanket does me well.

[luvie]

Well, it’s always a good thing to have a productive day...at least you can feel that your efforts were worth something! :)

How’s the weather up there? We are having a warm-up...in the 60s or 70s. I hate to even say that, because so many are having sub-zero temps in the Northland! BRR!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Another quick drive by..
We are gonna get walloped by winter storm Jove..
whom they are also calling an Alberta Clipper.
More info here:

Temps over the next three nights will be well below zero, too.
(sigh)

On a bright note, I spent the day with Robert, we took a day trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Rob was stationed there a long time ago, so he knew all the best places to eat.
We went to a restaurant called Bratskeller.
Most way yummy food!
Dawn had given me a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, and the one in Portsmouth is HUGE!

We spent a few hours browsing there, and just had a marvelous time!

Wish me luck on my commute to work tomorrow..
I’m gonna need it!
