Memorial Day

Memorial Day is one of America’s most solemn observances. We honor the men and women who died serving and defending our country—unlike Veterans Day, the day to honor all veterans.

The sheer carnage of the, America’s deadliest war, inspired Memorial Day as a way to honor the war dead. The observances originally were called Decoration Day because thankful Americans decorated and cared for soldiers’ graves. “Memorial Day” usage began appearing in 1882, but “Decoration Day” was common until post-World War II. Congress officially changed the name in 1967,

Keep noon and 3 p.m. local time in mind today. At noon, all flags lowered to half-staff should be raised completely for the remainder of the day. And at 3 p.m., a National Moment of Remembrance takes place. President Bill Clinton started the tradition in 2000.

Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, is a military cemetery in the United States of America, established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, a great grand-daughter of Martha Washington. The cemetery is situated directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

In an area of 624 acres (253 ha), veterans and military casualties from each of the nation's wars are interred in the cemetery, ranging from the American Civil War through to the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pre-Civil War dead were reinterred after 1900.

Each year, members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry regiment, also known as the Old Guard, are charged with placing American flags at the graves of each service member in Arlington National Cemetery. Created in 1784, the regiment is the oldest active duty regiment in the U.S. Army.

The Tomb of the Unknowns has been perpetually guarded since July 2, 1937, by the U.S. Army. The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ("The Old Guard") began guarding the Tomb on April 6, 1948. There is a meticulous routine which the guard follows when watching over the graves.

                                                                            The Tomb Guard:

Marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb.

Turns, faces east for 21 seconds.

Turns and faces north for 21 seconds.

Takes 21 steps down the mat.

Repeats the routine until the soldier is relieved of duty at the Changing of the Guard.

After each turn, the Guard executes a sharp "shoulder-arms" movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the Guard stands between the Tomb and any possible threat.

Twenty-one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed—the 21-gun salute.

Each turn the guard makes is precise and is instantly followed by a loud click of the heels as he snaps them together. The guard is changed every half hour during daylight in the summer, and every hour during daylight in the winter and every two hours at night (when the cemetery is closed to the public), regardless of weather conditions.

Love.. Honor.. Humor.. Respect

ITS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THE PHONE CALL

I can still hear the words .. i cant say them yet without swelling with tears my mouth starts to shake a little,

my whole body slows almost as if it can't remember whats next. Then my chest swells and i feel a thump, a hard one i don't know if its to remind me mine still beats or that he doesn't.

About that time i begin to feel selfishly without him i remember those who he wrapped his heart close with, for when it comes to heartbreak they are the ones he would want our good intentions to go.

My mind reprocesses memories of his "i don't give a shit" attitude" & "don't fuck with my family dude" & 'cause we're family that's why" way of living. He did what he did because he wanted to and he would make no excuses for it.

What i know is he would do what he would do for ours, and he wouldn't make any excuses for doing it!

He lead by Quite Example,(i know never would of thought that word and him) he provided for his family, food, financially, and most importantly in faith as a fisherman for our Family!

i choose to remember him with..    Love.. Honor.. Humor.. Respect

1.00 ring

2. 1
   Place the bill on a flat surface, face up. Smooth it out as much as possible.
   
   
   
   
   
   • If it’s too old and wrinkly, consider ironing it first.
     
     
3. 2
   Fold the top end down. Do it so that the fold falls just under the white edge. This covers the white edge and makes the finished ring a bit slimmer. Note that the front margins are different from the back margins!
   
   
   
4. 3
   Fold the bottom end up. Do it the same as the top fold, to cover the white edge. The exact width for these two folds isn't critical, but try to keep them parallel with the edges of the bill. 
   
   
   
5. 4
   Fold the bill in half lengthwise. Bring the top and bottom edges you created together. 
   
   
   
6. 5
   Fold the bill in half lengthwise again. Run your fingernail or a pen over the fold to make it crisp and clean.
   
   '
   
   
   
7. 6
   Check your folds. They should look like this if you open up the end. 
   
   
   
8. 7
   Note that one of the small numbers should be facing out. Place it so that it's on your left, as shown. 
   
   
   
9. 8
   Fold the right end of the bill upwards (over itself). Form a 90-degree angle, about one-third of the total length. The placement of this fold can be adjusted to make the ring larger or smaller.
   
   
   
10. 9
    Wrap the tab around the bill. Fold it straight down behind the bill. 
    
    
    
11. 10
    Turn the folded bill over, so that it is oriented as shown. 
    
    
    
12. 11
    Make the ring. Take the long end sticking out to the right, and curl it in a loop around the back. Pass the free end under the tab that is sticking down. 
    
    
    
13. 12
    Take the short part of the bill that's sticking out behind the tab, fold it across, over the angled fold on the outside of the ring.
    
    
    
    • Arrange the number so it's on the outside, then tuck the end underneath. This is the "stone" or "top" part of the ring.
      
      
14. 13
    Fold the loose end that's still sticking down under and tuck it in under the "stone". 
    
    
    
15. 14
    Admire your good work.
    
    
    
16. 15
    Finished.

FAMILY...........ANYTHING

A dad has been hailed a hero after he fought off a 25-stone bear by punching it repeatedly when it tried to attack his family.

Toby Burke threw himself between his wife Laura, his three children and the wild animal.

The 48-year-old, who was on a bird watching trip in Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, then stood his ground as the bear dove towards him.

‘It was just me between my family and the bear,’ he said.

At first Mr Burke defended himself with his camera tripod but this proved fruitless as the huge animal snapped it in half.

The bear then bit his arm, which sparked him into action – and he proceeded to punch the female brown bear in the face several times.

After a short while the beast decided it had had enough and ran away.

Mr Burke and his family all escaped unharmed but the bear, which was aged around 20, had to be shot dead after it later attacked police officers.

The Beauty We Live Among is Amazing and Breathtaking

Here are some places on Earth we don't always see

not all 100%  natural  couple had human help



Ko Tapu, Thailand

Ko Tapu (or Khao Tapu) is a tall islet (peaks at 20 meters above sea level) it is a part of Ao Phang Nga National Park and located off  the shores of Khao Phing Kan (west part of Thailand). In 1974 Ko Tapu was shown in the James Bond movie – “The Man with the Golden Gun”, since it is also known as “James Bond Island“.




Bora Bora









Fly Geyser Reno


Fly Geyser was accidentally created in 1916 while drilling a well for water, though they didn't start forming until 1960. The spot picked had an unknown geothermal area. The heated water eventually found a weak spot in the well and pushed itself to the surface. The minerals started building up to create a mini volcano of about 5 ft. tall, with layers of terraces. The terraces have different colors from the minerals in the water and the geothermal water has found more weak spots to create two more geysers nearby. The water spouts continuously and fills holes and hollows in the terraces, to give the area a surreal look. Water where there isn't much water to begin with has attracted swans, ducks, and other animals to the area. Fish also swim through the ponds, introduced by an unknown human dropping the eggs in the water.











Mount Roraima, South America

With 400-metre tall cliffs on all sides, Mount Roraima is a truly remarkable creation. It is the tallest of the Pakaraima Chain in South America and borders Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. Many of the plant species atop this mountain are found nowhere else on earth. Only very experienced rock climbers have been known to make the extremely challenging climb.










Antelope Canyon, USA


Antelope Canyon is situated near Page, Arizona, USA.
it is one of most photographed, places in Arizona, and as you can see in the photos below, there is a good reason, this place is this place is strikingly beautiful not to mention unique.














Tianzi Mountains, China

Tianzi Mountain takes its name from a man, Xiang Dakun. He was the leader of the Tu ethnic group during the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 -1279). Xiang Dakun led a revolution and avowed himself as Tianzi (Son of Heaven). Visiting the Tianzi Mountain Area, visitors can see many sites about his story, the most impressive being: the Yu Bi Peaks, the Xian Nü San Hua, and the Shen Bing Ju Hui.

With pine trees on the top, the Yu Bi (imperial brushes) Peaks rise upward into the sky. Legend goes that they are brushes the Tianzi-Xiang Dakun used that became stone peaks after his martyrdom. The Xian Nv San Hua (floral tributes by fairies) is slightly opposite the Yu Bi Peaks. A legend goes that Xiang Dakun and his army were defeated to fall back on the Tianzi Mountain. He fought to the finish, but finally jumped off the cliff. A girl in love with him went across the mountain to search for him. She strewed flowers over the cliffs and turned into a stone statue. Shen Bing Ju Hui is a forest of soldier-like peaks arrayed for a review.














Bamboo Forest, Japan


Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, a district on the west outskirts of Kyoto,  Japan.
Sagano Bamboo Forest is one of the most amazing natural sites in Japan.
One of the most interesting facts about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound which the wind makes while it blows among st the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the ”one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government.













Tulip Fields  Netherlands








Tunnel of Love   Ukraine
This gorgeous long, leafy tunnel looks like a green dream or a scene from a film - but it can actually be found deep in the forests of Ukraine. Located near the town of Kleven, this luscious green tunnel provides passage for a private train that provides wood to a local factory. Measuring 1.8 miles long, the unusual rail route in Eastern Europe is also a popular spot for lovers' promises.

27 Facts About Men According to Women

27 Facts About Men

1. Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.

2. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.

3. Men who have tattoos think they have a piece of artwork on them. Yeah, like a flaming skull is art?

4. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.

5. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.

6. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.

7. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun.

8. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.

9. All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwartzkopf.

10. Men are sensitive in strange ways If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.

11. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits, Women have two types: depressing and more depressing Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.

12. Men have higher body temperatures than women If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.

13. Women take clothing much more seriously than men I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh no, I'm so embarrassed; I've got to get out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."

14. Most men hate to shop That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

15. If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.

16. If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr Right," if he a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.

17. No man is charming all of the time Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.

18. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

19. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

20. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.

21. Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?"

22. If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget.. he didn't lose your number.. he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you.

23. Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis I asked him, "Are we going to have fun again?" He said, "Maybe.. next year."

24. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you.. I want to marry you.. I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.

25. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super- heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

26. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause - you get to flirt with young girls and drive motorcycles.

27. Men forget everything; women remember everything. That's why men need instant replays in sports They've already forgotten what happened.

We all wonder about God, maybe he thought.....

“When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke
them into being. When I created man, I formed him from
the dust of the Earth and breathed life into his
nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed
the breath of life into man because your nostrils are
too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him
so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man
was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with
the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose
the bone that protects man’s life. I chose the rib,
which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,
as you are meant to do.”

“Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I
created you perfectly and beautifully. Your
characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate
and fragile. You provide protection for the most
delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the
center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of
life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken
before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man
as the rib cage supports the body.”

“You were not taken from his feet, to be under him,
nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You
were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be
held close to his side. You are my perfect angel. You
are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a
splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I
see the virtue in your heart. Your eyes: don’t change
them. Your lips: how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to
touch. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep;
I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives
and breathes, you are the most like me.”

“Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he
was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could
only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and
experience with me, I fashioned in you: my holiness,
my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and
support. You are special because you are the extension
of me.”

“Man represents my image, woman – my emotions.
Together, you represent the totality of God. So man:
treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is
fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to
her, you do to me. In crushing her, you only damage
your own heart, the heart of your Father and the heart
of her Father. Woman, support man. In humility, show
him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle
quietness show your strength. In love, show him that
you are the rib that protects his inner self.”

 from The Prophet Muhammad 

Some Men get this While others get
