GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!



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.

How cute, yorkie! Dogs and cats sure do entertain us, don’t they? Do you know that I must have received 35 emails today and I have read about 5 of them. I don’t believe my email buddies are getting ready for Christmas or they are smarter than me....

When I was VERY little, I wrote to “IKE” - and guess what? Within two weeks, I got a reply from him. (Wish I could find it, now!)

The play is next Sunday evening. I know I will cry. I’m bragging a little but she does have a lovely voice.

I still don’t know what she will be singing.
