I became an American Citizen on 27 November 1961, admitted to the United States on 24 November 1950 as a Displaced Person (DP) quota immigrant.
I served my Country for over 29 years as a Soldier in the US Army.
I still don't feel like I paid my debt to America for letting me be an American. I have never been to heaven ! but I do live in America.
I have some observations I would like to share with you.
- American people are the greatest people on Earth.
- They produce the mightiest " Warriors " in history of man-kind.
- Only big flaw we have is our Politicians, it seems when they get elected they put their " BALLS " in cold storage. They are like Thunder without Lightning, loud noise without results.
One example, at the White House " which is our house " what use to be our Nations Christmas Tree, now some want to call it a Holiday Tree.
I would like to wish all you Christians a Merry Christmas. And if you are a Atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or Jew, or I will offer you my hand and wish you well, and Peace on Earth.
But I will also offer you a warning if you mean America and its people harm !! We will meet on the Battlefield and you will be destroyed, this is not an idol threat History speaks for itself.
America has a Destiny and it's guided by the All Mighty.
Please take a moment and remember our Armed Forces in harms way, and pray for their safe return.

TO THOSE THAT HAVE FOUGHT FOR LIFE AND FREEDOM, LIFE HAS A FLAVOR AND SWEETNESS THAT THE TIMID WILL NEVER KNOW. MOST AMERICANS ARE CONTENT AND DO NOT APPRECIATE THEIR COUNTRY, TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THEY DO. PEOPLE LIKE JAKE, THAT COME FROM
DESPOTIC SHITHOLES, KNOW HOW GOOD THEY HAVE IT HERE.
'Rumours' of riot convoys
From: By staff writers
December 16, 2005
POLICE are investigating reports that interstate recruits ready to join in fresh racially motivated violence are arriving in Sydney by the bus and carload.
The Australian reported that youths and ethnic "lions" from Melbourne are believed to be heading north intent on creating more mayhem.
New South Wales police today described the reports as "unconfirmed rumours" but said they were being investigated.
Overnight a police task force arrested 19 people as unrest again spilled onto Sydney streets with an elderly man bashed with a crowbar, a Molotov cocktail thrown at police and one officer injured in a brawl.
The arrests were made by officers attached to Operation Seta, created following a race riot at North Cronulla Beach in Sydney's south on Sunday and days of retaliatory attacks.
Assistant commissioner Dave Owens said police used increased powers rushed through NSW Parliament yesterday to set up check points on a number of main thoroughfares in Sydney's southern suburbs.
A Molotov cocktail was thrown at police in "a disturbing incident" at Dickens Road, Ambarvale, south west of Sydney, about 10pm (AEDT), he said.
"Police conducted a search of the area and located a number of other incendiary devices and what appeared to be stockpiled stones," Mr Owens said.
Although no arrests were made over that incident, two men, aged 24 and 23, were charged with making explosives with intent ot injure after police found seven molotov cocktails in a Cronulla unit, about 6pm.
A 46-year-old man was also charged with common assault after an elderly man was bashed with a crowbar by a group of men at Riverwood in Sydney's south west about 7pm (AEDT).
Police were also called to shopping centres at Marrickville, Castle Hill and Newcastle where crowds of men had gathered.
They were dispersed without incident, but a police officer was injured as he broke up a brawl at a shopping centre in Wetherill Park about 8.30pm.
An 18-year-old man was charged with a range of offences including two counts of assaulting a police officer.
Shortly before 10.30pm, police were also called to a fast food outlet at Parramatta where 23 car loads of men in a carpark were threatening patrons with baseball bats.
A 22-year-old man was arrested after he was allegedly found with a hammer and screwdriver.
He was charged with possessing offensive weapons.
Two other men, aged 19 and 25, were also arrested about 6pm as they tried to drive into Cronulla "to help the cause", Mr Owens said.
They were charged with a range of offences including driving a stolen car and drug possession.
Police say they are continuing preparations for the weekend in case of more violence.
Police numbers will more than double from the 450 last weekend to 1000 on Saturday and 1500 on Sunday.
NSW Parliament yesterday passed the Law Enforcement Legislation Public Safety Act 2005, giving police increased powers to lock down some suburbs, close pubs, enforce alcohol bans and confiscate cars.
Premier Morris Iemma recalled Parliament from its summer break after rioters attacked people of Middle Eastern descent at Cronulla on Sunday, and members of Sydney's Lebanese community carried out apparent retaliatory attacks on Sunday and Monday nights.
Expectations among the young Lebanese community in western Sydney that further trouble will develop over the weekend comes despite calls from their religious leaders, police and politicians for both sides to calm down.
One 22-year-old ethnic Lebanese man said yesterday he and his friends were ready for a turf war. "The boys reckon it'll be like a scene out of Braveheart," he said.
Sources within the Lebanese community said three busloads of young men from Melbourne - Lebanese, Serbians, Italians and Greeks - and more than 30 carloads were expected to arrive in Sydney today and tomorrow.
"I've talked to a few mates in Melbourne and I know that some of my other buddies have too," said a 29-year-old Lebanese man from Lidcombe, in Sydney's west.
"We're expecting about 30 cars and a couple of busloads of Leb, Serb, Italian and Greek lions to punch on with us."
A Melbourne nightclub bouncer of Bosnian extraction also said word was "getting around" about groups of young men heading to Sydney to fight.
A Victorian police spokesman said the force was "monitoring the situation" but had no specific information about the plan.
Prominent Melbourne Muslim leader Waleed Aly yesterday discouraged his community from joining the fray. "It's a stupid thing to do," he said.
Gold Coast police are also bracing for trouble on Sunday, boosting on-duty numbers after text messages urged locals to "crack some skulls".
Police contingency plans have been made despite Queensland Premier Peter Beattie's view the text messages were a hoax.
