<p>Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data.</p> <p>The Spanish have a perfectly respectable word mondongo for the tripes, the stomach linings of cows or oxen that are served as food.

The English borrowed the Spanish word in the seventeenth century, at first with the same sense , but then hacked it about a bit to fit English mouths and applied it figuratively to any offal or refuse.</p>

Dear "Army Mom," Just wanted to take a second to tell you what happened in Iraq today. It was raining - and I was just coming in to my headquarters when when I passed by one of my newer soldiers - an immigrant from the former Soviet Union - and one of my BEST privates. I was stopped in my tracks, for behold - on such a dreary day he was smiling. I was being funny (at first) and I said "awww you got a package with some goodies? Who sent that to you?" And as I expected to hear...

Showing Some SpiritJim Hake and the Spirit of America help Americans help Iraqis. by Erin Montgomery 01/06/2004 12:00:00 AM JIM HAKE traveled to Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base near San Diego a few days before Christmas to meet with senior officers of the 1st Marine Division.

For as long as other Americans serve their country as courageously and honorably as he did, General MacArthur's words will live on.

Hello everyone, I put together a website designed for airline employees to give their extra guest passes that they may have to the troops coming home on their two-week leave or any reason really.
