OLD FART PRIDE
 
 
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 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 
>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.
