228 Years.

Posted by Eric at 10:41 am. Filed under: General

Today is the 228th birthday of the United States Flag. Read Mike Dalka’s story.

It’s easy to forget that the old cliche “freedom isn’t free” actually means something.

The last week or so I’ve been working with my young kids on early American history as we head in to Independence Day. Hopefully they will learn and remember.

Today, as an exception to the normal theater rule, the US Troops are allowed to fly the Flag in Iraq.

    It looks like 3/4 of the blogosphere forgot that yesterday, June 14th, was Flag Day. I spent almost a half hour at Technorati, trying to find blogs to link to, and only found a handful of EARNEST posts about…

  13. Dear Respectful One,
    GREETINGS,
    Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact
    from the International web site directory. I am Wumi Abdul; the only Daughter of late Mr and Mrs George Abdul. 225My father was a very wealthy cocoa
    merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus
    on a business deal.
    When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me and my younger brother special because
    we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.
    He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000 (Twelve Million, five
    hundred thousand dollars) left in a security company here in Abidjan, that he used my name
    as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund in a consignment, decleared as family valuables.
    He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business
    associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates,
    that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
    money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).
    Moreover Sir, we are willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compensation for effort input after the
    successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas.
    Anticipating to hear from you soon.
    Thanks and God Bless.
    Best regards.
    Miss Wumi Abdul
