Fwd: Where not to hide during a tornado or anytime!



 

NEVER hide in a culvert during a Tornado warning--or any time! ....
ESPECIALLY in Texas !!

 

   


A Texas Power & Light  crew, putting in lines for an addition to the Hallettsville Airport , found the following in a culvert they were  using...


 

See the two (2)  pictures below:

Fwd: World's Largest Army !



Subject: World's Largest Army !
To: 



 
 


 
 
 
True story and 

most people will never know 

it.
Here's an 

interesting side bar. After the Japanese 

decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, 

they could have sent their troop ships and 

carriers directly to California to finish what 

they started. The prediction from our Chief of 

Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive 

invasion until they reached the Mississippi 

River . Remember, we had a 2 million man army 

and war ships…...all fighting the Germans. So, 

why did they not 

invade?
After the 

war, the remaining Japanese generals and 

admirals were asked that question. Their 

answer…...they know that almost every home had 

guns and the Americans knew how to use them. 

Theworld's 

largest army
... America 's hunters! I had 

never thought about this....


A blogger 

added up the deer license sales in just a 

handful of states and arrived at a striking 

conclusion:


There were 

over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of 

Wisconsin .

 

Allow me to 

restate that number.

 

Over the 

last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became 

the eighth largest army in the 

world.

 

More men 

under arms than in Iran .

 

More than 

in France and Germany combined.

 

These men 

deployed to the woods of a single American state 

to hunt with firearms, and no one was 

killed.

 

That number 

pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted 

the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 

700,000 hunters,

All of whom 

have now returned home.

 

Toss in a 

quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it 

literally establishes the fact 

that

The hunters 

of those four states alone would comprise the 

largest army in the 

world.

The 

point?

 

America 

will forever be safe from foreign invasion with 

that kind of home-grown 

firepower.


Hunting -- 

it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a 

matter of national 

security.

*************************************************

 

That's why 

all enemies, foreign and 
domestic, want to 

see us disarmed.

 

Food for 

thought when next we consider gun 

control.
