If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and
become more, you are a leader. -John Quincy Adams

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose. --Lyndon B. Johnson

We must remember that many who served in our military never
lived to be called veterans. We must remember many had their
lives changed forever by experiences or the injuries of combat.
All veterans are examples of service and citizenship for every
American to remember and to follow. ~President George W. Bush

The future depends on what we do in the present. -Mahatma Gandhi

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe
to assure the survival and the success of liberty. ~John F. Kennedy

"Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."		That quote from Leviticus 25:10 was inscribed on what came to be known as the Liberty Bell when it was cast in 1753. To this day, the bell stands as a symbol of freedom that tolls in the hearts of all Americans, even if the bell itself is silent. The bell in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall) rang out a summons to the people of that great city to hear the words that would shape a nation and a world: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. ..." It is fitting that the bell that pealed freedom should come to be known as the Liberty Bell...

The bell was cast to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pennsylvania's original constitution. Ironically, it rang for many important events, including the coronation of King George III in 1761. Later it would gather the citizens of Philadelphia to debate the Stamp Act of 1765 and, still later, the battles of Lexington and Concord. Fearful that the bell might be stolen by the British and melted down for munitions, the bell was taken down and hidden until after the War of Independence. This was no small task; the bell weighs just over a ton and is 12 feet in circumference at lip (or the bottom). In 1781 it was returned to Philadelphia, the home of the Continental Congress and the nation's capital from 1790 to 1800...

When did the Liberty Bell receive its famous crack? There are many theories and disputes. The most credible seems to be that it cracked as it was ringing for the funeral of John Marshall, chief justice of the United States. The date: July 8, 1835, 59 years to the day after the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. The crack worsened in 1846 when the bell marked George Washington's birthday. After that it was deemed unsuitable for normal use, but the bell continued to be tapped ceremoniously on special occasions. Probably the most famous of its audible reincarnations was on June 6, 1944, when a recording of its toll was played on radio stations across the nation to announce the D-Day invasion of Europe by Allied Forces. Special hammers were made to ensure there would be no further damage to the bell.

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to
persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.”
~Christopher Reeve~

Don't Forget About PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING...
...an investment in the life of your computer.

Don't let this happen to your computer!

These are actual photos of the inside
of a neglected CPU.

The dark areas are layers of dust - so thick you can't
see the bottom cream color of the case or the text on the various components! This particular system may
not be typical of every system, but it doesn't take long
to accumulate and unfortunately, many people overlook
the benefits of a good cleaning for their computer as a part
of their maintenance schedule. Dust collects in your computer causing it to overheat and react contrary to the way it should. You've got a lot of money invested in your computer system and you depend on it everyday to get things done. That's why it's important to take good care of it with

Preventive Maintenance Cleaning.

The Blonde Pilot A blonde went to a helicopter flight school insisting she wanted to learn to fly that day. As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct her on how to pilot the helicopter solo by radio. He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics, and sent her on her way. After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in. "I'm doing great! I love it! The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this." After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was becoming to fly. The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet, and was beginning to worry that she hadn't radioed in. A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a mile away. He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage. When he asked what happened, she said: "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was starting to get cold. I can't remember anything after I turned off the big fan."
