Winston Churchill suffered from a stutter.
March 6th, 2009
There are lots of famous folks who stumbled a bit in their speech, including Napoleon, Issac Newton, Darwin and Aristotle! Interestingly, 80% of all stutterers are male.
Just the other day, I got into a small discussion about the people in the military. The talking point was about other countries and their military. The question was: “Do these other governments and their peoples appreciate their soldiers as much as we cherish ours?” The premise being that we are really the only country that hold in high regard our fighting men and women. My thoughts? Hogwash.
These other democracies may not roll out the red carpet when their marching boys come home, but they do respect and appreciate the things that they do, right or wrong, for better or for worse.
I, for one, appreciate our guys and gals in the service of our country A TON!
And without the sappy intro, here’s some of the military’s funny bone on display…
Couple of good ol' boys
Makes the local cops radar insignificant
Just too funny!
How our government is funding our military today!
Hostile projectiles...
All terrain weapon
Letter from home...
Aw shucks... It's on auto pilot
My sergeant told me to hold this...
Exercise with a friend!
Haulin' ASS!
Afternoon snooze!
No matter where, no matter what...
A Soldiers Prayer
When I am called to serve, Dear Lord,
Wherever war may be,
Give me courage to fight the battles,
My country may ask of me.
Grace me with Your presence,
And know that I love You,
While I fight the enemy,
My country needs me to.
Help me protect my comrades,
As You expect me to,
And keep me in Your loving hands,
While I do what I must do.
I want to do my duty,
And to give the best in me,
To do what I’ve been called to do,
And protect our liberty.
And if, according to Your will,
I must give up my life,
Please bless with Your protecting hand,
My children and my wife.
