>  
>  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 Star Spangled Banner. 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 Harbor, 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. 
> 
> 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 politician's, 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.
