WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME

 
 
 

WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME


This email is being circulated around the world - please keep it going


 


When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard.... 
 
.....to listen to his son whine about being bored. 
 
..........to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes. 
 
to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work. 
 
......to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.


.....to be silent when people pray to GOD for a new car. 
 
.........to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower. 
 
........to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying. 


...........to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.    


..........to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.  


...........to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.   


..........to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog. 


...........to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.   


..........to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.   


.......to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house. 


The only thing harder than being a Soldier..  


Is loving one.

Campaign Update

 

May 13, 2009

 

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Our campaign team and I have continued to travel across our state and are having a great time meeting so many individuals who are interested in the future of our state.  Since our last update, we have covered the following events:

  • Clare County Republican Lincoln Breakfast in Harrison

  • Charlevoix County Republican Lincoln Dinner in Boyne Falls

  • Barry County Republican Lincoln Dinner in Hastings

  • Ride Your Bike to Work Kick-off Event in Kalamazoo

  • Kalamazoo Fundraiser at CityScape

  • Bay County Republican Lincoln Dinner in Bay City

A special thank you goes to my wife, Sandy, for going with me to the Clare and Charlevoix events this past Friday.  Also, thanks to Rob Bricker, one of our dedicated volunteers for representing us well at the Barry County Lincoln dinner.  On Saturday Sandy and I traveled to Detroit where I had the opportunity to meet with a group of individuals to discuss a number of issues concerning our state such as jobs, economy and health care.

 

This past Monday was the start of the Annual National Ride Your Bike to Work Week.  As a promoter of healthy behavior and wellness, I joined once again with our Kalamazoo Chamber of Commerce by riding my bike from home to downtown Kalamazoo (10.6 miles).   Participants attended a seminar on fitness and were treated to lunch provided by the Chamber. 

 

Cycling is not only a terrific form of exercise, but it is also a useful mode of transportation to and from work, the store, school, and other places.  In addition, this event marks the beginning of the bike tours that I will be taking around the state during the summer months -- so stay tuned. 

 

I am pleased to report that we also had our fifth fundraiser at CityScape in downtown Kalamazoo.  Like our other fundraisers this was a success thanks to our co-hosts and financial supporters!

 

Finally, with session and commitments in Lansing last night, Sandy and our daughter, Maria, represented our campaign and attended the Bay County Lincoln dinner.  Sandy grew up in Bay County and she enjoyed re-connecting with familiar faces and also meeting new grassroots activists. 

 

This weekend I will be traveling to Saginaw and Berrien Counties and if you are interested in being a part of our campaign team please let us know by going to our website, www.georgeforgovernor.com and sign up today.  Together, we can fix Michigan!

 

 

Sincerely,



Tom George, MD

Subject: FW: SPREAD THIS AROUND BEFORE IT IS REMOVED!!!!!

Understanding who did what to whom is important.   Watch this video to see how short our memories are.   This is not political.  

 

It's renewing our memories.   When will the general public find out or remember.

SPREAD THIS AROUND BEFORE IT IS REMOVED!!!!!  

 

This video clearly shows that George Bush warned 
Congress starting in 2001, that this economic crisis was 
coming, if something was not done.  But Congress refused to 
listen, along with the
 Congressman, Barney Frank.

This video says it all. 

The
 media reportedly did not want this video on 
You Tube; it was taken off.     

This link is of the same video, but is routed through 
Canada . Everyone in   America  needs to see this before it is 
yanked off the internet again! 
   
Let's see how far we can spread it before the liberals 
pull it off the Canadian site.

Wow!!!

 

 

 

PICTURES 
YOU HAVE TO SEE!


The
 

bridge (or should it be called tunnel) goes under water to allow
 

movement of ships.
 
 In 
order for ships to pass, this bridge is half under the water.
 

 You 
drive down in the water and then come out on the other side.
 

 Truly 
a marvelous piece of engineering!
 
 This 
bri dge is between Sweden and Denmark
. 
The picture was taken from the Sweden side.
