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, Jaycee! Nice to see you, too! Am still sick - on my second course of antibiotics.

Here is the Christmas Cactus bloom
It does look similar to the fuschia, doesn't it?

(Even a little bit?) LOL!

JC, thank you for all your sweet, kind words today. I love your 7% clip, and am forwarding it on to friends.

It is so cold and rainy here today - and is snowing just north of here, in Flagstaff. In fact the main highway is now closed due to icy conditions, and cars going off the road, and many weather related accidents. (We are getting the storm that hit Santa Barbara a couple days ago.)

I’m off to do my taxes, now - so won’t be on much more for awhile. (I do not look forward to this job!)

I am glad you liked it. It just touched me this morning and I thought "I know there were times people were praying for me." I don't want anyone to miss it.

Can't believe the weather you're having in Arizona. And snow north of you is unbelievable. We are at 73 today but windy. Seems like when it warms up outside, its chilly inside. I guess 'cause the thermostat doesn't cut on when its isn't needed. I'm posting the same rainy graphic to you as I sent to Amy......LOL!
