I heard the sound of Taps one night,

When everything was still,

I listened to the bugler play

And felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times

That Taps had meant "Amen,"

When a flag had draped a coffin.

Of a brother or a friend.

I thought of all the children,

Of the mothers and the wives,

Of fathers, sons and husbands

With interrupted lives.

I thought about a graveyard

At the bottom of the sea

Of unmarked graves in Arlington.

No, freedom isn't free.

Freedom Is Not Free I watched the flag pass by one day,

It fluttered in the breeze.

A young Service man saluted it,

And then he stood at ease.

I watched the flag pass by one day,

I looked at him in uniform

So young, so tall, so proud,

With hair cut square and eyes alert

He'd stand out in any crowd.

I thought how many men like him

Had fallen through the years.

How many died on foreign soil

How many mothers' tears?

How many pilots' planes shot down?

How many died at sea

How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?

No, freedom isn't free.

A scientist find evidence of an actual dinosaur, alive and living in the rainforests of South America. He campaigns several universities and succeeds in getting a grant to launch an expedition. Several weeks pass and the expedition party stumble upon a 3 foot tall pigmy standing near a 300 foot long dead dinosaur. The scientist approaches the pigmy and exclaims, “Dear Lord! Did you

kill this dinosaur?” “Yep!” replied the pigmy. “But, it’s so big and you’re so small” “Yep!” replied the pigmy. “How on earth did you kill it?” inquired the scientist. “With my club,” replied the pigmy. “How big is your club?” demanded the scientist. The pigmy replied, “Well, there are about a hundred of us.” JUST REMEMBER: A positive attitude may not solve all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!!
