Awesome Paint Job!

This very special Mi-24 helicopter is presently flying in Afghanistan, where it is no doubt causing quite a stir!

[whoever]

Now, THAT'S a paint job I really admire. Bless them each and every one.

Norb2569 sent me this in an e-mail awhile ago.
I think it has a message that all of us can learn from.
Thanks Norb!

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE"
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, "After I hurt you,
you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied:
"When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away,
but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.

Let us All write in Stone what Good Things are done in the USO Canteen.
And let the winds of forgiveness erase anything else.

IRISH BLESSING

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
