LOVELY & touching posts from you all for this past Father’s Day. I was around earlier in day & poked around the couple (3 I visited) alternate sites for FR.

Then had a jazz outing, dinner & movie with friend. Came home exhausted & just downloaded my pix & slept.

Nice to see things up & running again. We take for granted the work, effort it takes to keep a site like this running. I read at one of the internet tracking sites FR has 1.7 million visitors a month & 17 million posts a month. Those are incredible numbers.

Well I hope all dads had a good day & all of us either were able to spend time with dads or remember them fondly if they have passed this life.

Hope the week ahead is great for you all..

~Happy Monday To Amy's Place~


~Good Morning~
I seemed to have taken a nap instead of getting
a full night's sleep!
Have a great day everyone.

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.

Hi Dolly! I always look forward to hearing from you!

I agree that we do take F.R. for granted sometimes. When we don’t have it for a few hours, we go crazy. I truly thank those who do provide ‘a place for us’ to get together and chat or have fun. Its a wonderful place.

Have a great day, ((((Dolly))))!!!

Thank you, Dolly.
I didn't get here early enough to get my Fathers Day graphic posted.
We spent yesterday afternoon celebrating fathers.
Marissa had her reading program class in the morning.

I enjoyed reading about your outing.
Looks like you had a wonderful day.

Have a sunny week.
