I have copies of records obtained from the National Archives showing that a member of my family has served in every American War from the Revolution to Iraq. The only exception is during the Indian Wars following the Civil War. My son in law has served twice in Iraq and my son, US Army Reserve, leaves Tuesday for Iraq.

Hi Kathy.

It was a great weekend.

The first “dry” day yesterday and today and yesterday we had sunshine
No snow, No hail, No rain.

Monday afternoon is T-storms, and Monday night rain; ditto Wednesday.
Looks like we can finally get a lot done outdoors.

How was your weekend Kathy?
Are you still in the high temps?

THE SOLDIER’S CODE

---

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division 5JUN1944 prior to D-Day Normandy

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.
