Na, you probably didn't see me...


Both of our children benefited by being raised in a Christian environment. For example, in their early youth, they went to a parochial school, where all students circled and every morning, saluted the American flag. Then, they went into the Chapel for about fifteen or twenty minutes of prayer. Both are very successful, and morally as well as mentally strong. We're very proud of them. It all has to start with you caring about them, lots of love and understanding!

Fifty years later, the mother and child reunion: A South Korean mother weeps with her North Korean son in Diamond mountain resort, North Korea. North Korea periodically allows families to reunite briefly with South Korean relatives they haven't seen for more than half a century.

How far across the zone?

It looks like the hospitals that are closest are getting the first batches of patients out of New Orleans. The link below tells the story of a mercy flight to transfer neonatal patients to the The Children's Hospital of Alabama.

Tonight all 4 babies came back to UAB RNICU but they have at least two more babies for us to transport tomorrow and Dr. Prince here in Birmingham said we could bring one back to TCH and one to UAB. Plans may change by tomorrow.

Yeah, those highway sections must weigh tons, and will be 'fun' to fish out by themselves.

Welcome to the Canteen, 911angelady, where we honor our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies every day. We are here 24(mostly)/7/365 to provide a place for our military to stop in, pull up a chair, and enjoy a joke, hear a song (requests taken), read some history, enjoy a cyber meal (no calories), hear about our families lives, join in the silliness, and just relax.

Thank you, Jens, for your service to America.

The due date for Jens and Tisha is September 21st?
Drumbo, a Canteen DJ, and his wife are due the same day!

Okay, that isn't necessarily an NC after doing some research. The "fin flash" (green or yellow stripes) indicate the primary colors in the units patch. It can be considered the aircraft's unit patch.

The name of the AFB where the plane is based out of is stenciled in the flash. The nose of the airplane has the unit stenciled on it.

The green flashed planes could be from Pope AFB in NC, and the yellow flashed plane is probably from March Field in California, I believe.

An aerial view shows the remains of destroyed homes in Biloxi, Miss., Aug. 31, 2005. Hundreds of homes in Biloxi were completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The hurricane battered the Gulf Coast with wind gusts in excess of 140 miles per hour, flattened buildings and flooded areas from Florida to Louisiana. Millions of people are left without power and hundreds of thousands homeless. U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Mike Buytas
