God Bless all of us Old Farts

 

I never   really liked   the   terminology   "Old Farts" but   this makes me   feel better   about it. And if   you ain't one,   I bet ya you   know one! I got   this from an   "Old Fart"   friend of   mine!     OLD   FART PRIDE I'm   passing this   on as I did   not want to be   the only old   fart receiving   it. Actually,   it's not a bad   thing to be   called, as you   will see. ?  Old   Farts are easy   to spot at   sporting   events; during   the playing of   the National   Anthem. Old   Farts remove   their caps and   stand at   attention and   sing without   embarrassment.    They know the   words and   believe in   them. ?  Old   Farts remember   World War II,   Pearl Harbour   ,  Guadalcanal   , Normandy      and Hitler.   They remember   the Atomic   Age, the   Korean War,   The Cold War,   the Jet Age   and the Moon   Landing. They   remember the   50 plus   Peacekeeping   Missions from   1945 to 2005,   not to   mention    Vietnam . ?  If you   bump into an   Old Fart on   the sidewalk   he will   apologize. If   you pass an   Old Fart on   the street, he   will nod or   tip his cap to   a lady. Old   Farts trust   strangers and   are courtly to   women. ?   &nbs   p;  Old   Farts hold the   door for the   next person   and always,   when walking,   make certain   the lady is on   the inside for   protection. ?  Old   Farts get   embarrassed if   someone curses   in front of   women and   children and   they don't   like any filth   or dirty   language on TV   or in movies. ?  Old   Farts have   moral courage   and personal   integrity.   They seldom   brag unless   it's about   their children   or   grandchildren. ?  It's   the Old Farts   who know our   great country   is protected,   not by   politicians,   but by the   young men and   women in the   military   serving their   country.   This country   needs Old   Farts with   their work   ethic, sense   of   responsibility,   pride in their   country and   decent values.   We need them   now more than   ever. Thank   God for Old   Farts!   Pass this on   to all the   "Old Farts"   you know.   I was taught   to respect my   elders. It's   just getting   harder to find   them.
