Hi all...Just got from a WW2 Buddy...a load of photos that would knock your
socks off.. MANY are WW2 vehicles and "NOSE ART" shots of aircraft he had at
NAS Honolulu...
Some of the vehicles are awesome..some early GP's.. I am going to start
scanning them all onto a disc and try to post them somehow..
Man...!!!.Gagnon is in 2 shots..He was the last MARINE to pass on who raised
the Flag at IWO.. "Frank" took his picture...Betty Hutton also..Many
Admirals and Generals.!! Frank was a US NAVY Photographer..and flew
photographic missions over Okinawa before the invasion.. I have the actual
photos here.
Also -- some strange "temporary" landing strips in the ocean built by the
SEABEES for damaged and "low fuel" aircraft. All long gone now...!! What a
wealth of pictures !!!
Have a good one.. Gene

   Illegal Immigrants Poem

        Boy! this is worth passing on!

        Illegal
        Immigrants
        Poem

        I cross ocean,
        poor and broke,
        Take bus,
        See employment folk.

        Nice man treat me
        good in there,
        Say I need to
        See welfare.

        Welfare say,
        "You come no more,
        We send cash
        Right to your door."

        Welfare checks,
        they make you wealthy,
        Medicaid it keep
        you healthy!

        By and by,
        I got plenty money,
        Thanks to you,
        American dummy.

        Write to friends
        in motherland,
        Tell them 'come
        Fast as you can.'

        They come in turbans
        and Ford trucks,
        I buy big house
        with welfare bucks

        They come here,
        we live together,
        More welfare checks,
        it gets better!

        Fourteen families,
        they moving in,
        But neighbor's patience
        Wearing thin.

        Finally, white guy
        moves away,
        Now I buy his house,
        and then I say,

        "Find more aliens
        for house to rent."
        And in the yard
        I put a tent.

        Send for family
        they just trash,
        But they, too,
        draw the welfare cash!

        Everything is
        very good,
        And soon we
        own the neighborhood.

        We ha ve hobby
        it's called breeding,
        Welfare pay
        for baby feeding.

        Kids need dentist?
        Wife need pills?
        We get free!
        We got no bills!

        American crazy!
        He pay all year,
        To keep welfare
        running here.

        We think America
        darn good place!
        Too darn good for
        the white man race.

        If they no like us,
        they can scram,
        Got lots of room in
        Pakistan.

        SEND THIS TO
        EVERY AMERICAN
        TAXPAYER YOU KNOW
