  1. THE OLD MAN

    THE OLD MAN

    As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.

    The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away..

    I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm, walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too and took a few steps towards him.

    I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something. The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade and then turn back to the old man and I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying,

    'You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age.' And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.

    I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine.

    He then went to his wife and spoke with her and appeared to tell her it would be okay.. I had seen enough and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight and as I got near him I said, 'Looks like you're having a problem.'

    He smiled sheepishly and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around I saw a gas station up the road and told the old man that I would be right back... I drove to the station

    and went inside and saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them and related the problem the old man had with his car and offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.

    The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife. When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine) I spoke with the old

    gentleman.

    When I shook hands with him earlier, he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, 'What outfit did you serve with?'

    He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal ...

    He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me and I told him I

    would just put the bill on my AAA card.

    He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket.. We all shook hands all around again and I said my good-bye's to his wife.

    I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me

    One of them pulled out a card from his pocket looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then,that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.

    For some reason I had gone about two blocks when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name..........

    'Congressional Medal of Honor Society.'

    I sat there motionless looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together, because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage and an honor to have been in his presence.

    Remember, OLD men like him gave you FREEDOM for America ...

    Thanks to those who served....& those who supported them.

    America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall. If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!

    Remember, Freedom isn't Free, thousands have paid the price so you can enjoy what you have today.

    LET'S DO THIS, JUST 19 WORDS:

    "GOD OUR FATHER, WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE AND TAKE AWAY ALL MY WORRIES; AND PLEASE WATCH OVER AND HEAL MY FAMILY AND PLEASE PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS WHO ARE DEFENDING THOSE FREEDOMS.

    AMEN"

    Gave me goosebumps....GOD bless all the past, current and future troops!!!

    Kingfish that cracked me up and gave me a laugh for this afternoon. Mr Malawi your $50,000 Dinar house payment is due. I have to admit I do understand the people that are trying to figure out if a LOP would happen though. This has been frustrating over the years and with IRAQ you never know what they might do. Its their currency. Hopefully we will find out sooner not later.

    i totally agree but when u figure out how much is actually missing from their coffeers, an all that was stole over years,,,tthat will only last short while.....if things cont way r anyways??? im talkin sbout mortgage by the way lol

    The Ports Department has noticed significant commercial activities in Basra ports, 550 km south of Baghdad, where several international ships dock there on a daily basis indicating an increase in annual profits by far more than last year, media official at the department Anar Al-Safi said Wednesday.

    This increasing movement of commercial ships will contribute to economic growth, Al-Safi added.

    "Umm Qasr port received today 8 trade ships of different nationalities and with various tonnage" he said.

    Um Qasr commercial port in Basra province is one of the largest and most important ports in Iraq. The profits of Iraqi ports in 2009 reached mounted to more than IQD9 billions.

  13. Very quietly obama's citizenship case reaches the supreme court

    in Off Topic posts

    Posted

    This may be off subject but kind of on the same line. How is it that a non-citizen (Arnold) can be gov. of Cali. if we can not have a non-citizen for prseident? (I am not saying Obama is or is not a citizen ... Just wondering about what makes it fair. Because we all know Arnold will be president one day.) hahaha

    I will tell you just as a Californian and an State of California Employees....There are a lot of Californians who have lived under his "authoriatism" who would never vote for him....Unless we planned on moving out of the USA!!! HaHaHa.....

  14. Iraqi News New Article on the Dinar Zero's and playing the game

    in Iraq & Dinar Related News

    From a practical standpoint, it makes sense to chop the NID 10,000 and NID25,00 notes out of circulation. They are too big to be of use in general circulation once the currency is revalued, and frankly it would not surprise me if they already have more 'normal' values, eg NID 5, 10, 20 or 25, 50 and 100 in the treasury ready for issuing. if they haven't, then on a practical basis we may be waiting a while for an RV!

    They do...I have some 50's
