Military Truisms for Veterans Day

by Moe Mathews 11. November 2009 07:05

Thank you to all the brave men and women in our military, both past and present, who help to keep our country safe and strong!

In honor of Veterans Day, here are a few military truisms that work both in the service and in life:

  • There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime.
  • Airspeed, altitude and brains. Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.
  • Never trade luck for skill.
  • If the enemy is in range, so are you.
  • When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.
  • Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do.
  • And…never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you!

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Get two plants, and set both of them in two different locations. One plant should be put in a box with a light so it can grow. The other plant should be put in a dark box so it will not grow.

Couldn't be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

I'm having a hard time viewing this information from my iPhone. Maybe you could upgrade the site and make it more accessible from my phone. Thatd be real cool!
