09/11/06 - NNHS Newsletter - Patriot Day
“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no
forgetting - President George W. Bush, November 11, 2001 |
 |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| I think we
provided you with a plethora of background information and related materials
last year, so I'll just direct your attention there: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-11-05-NNHS-Patriot-Day.html
And PLUS (a delightful colloquial
redundancy which simultaneously amuses and horrifies me almost as must as
the increasingly popular "anyways") - now, what was I saying??
Oh yes - And PLUS you may listen again to
Kate Smith's breathtaking,
heartwarming, classic rendition of "God Bless America".

From
Al Farber ('64) of GA - 09/07/06 - "Remember 911":

Thank you so much, Al!
|
REQUEST:
| If
anyone knows where to locate Jean Hooker Hanson (Hampton HS - '64),
we've received an inquiry concerning her. She was last known to have
been somewhere in TX. She had a brother, Richard Hooker,
who attended NNHS; I do not know if he was
younger or older than she, as I cannot seem to find him in the 1955 - 1966
Anchors. (That proves absolutely nothing, of course. We all know
I could be staring directly at his photo and not see it).
If you know where to reach
either of them, please contact me so that I may relay that information.
Thanks!

Hi Carol,
This is a great way for all to recognize and remember
September 11; and at the same time show our support for our troops at home
and overseas.
My nephew's son, a 2005 graduate of the
U.S. Military Academy
at West Point, is proudly serving our Country in Iraq. He and all the
troops need and deserve our support.
Thanks for considering this to be posted in your
newsletters.
By the way, a NNHS delegation walking together would be neat..
And, great appreciation to you for all that you do for
us....Bobby
Thanks so much, Bobby!!! I
seem to be too computer illiterate to figure out how to convert this
attachment into a form I can use, so I just copied the information from it
for now, until a later time. I missed some of the graphics this way,
but I caught all of the pertinent information. |

From Judy Horton Lindstrom ('63) of FL - 09/08/06 - "go watch and listen":
In
March, 2005,
this song was performed at a Diamond Rio concert. They received an
immediate standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform
it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered
politically incorrect. Consequently, the song was never released to the
public. If this song speaks to your heart, share it with friends and loved
ones. Then let us cease being the silent majority and join together -- not
as a particular political party, but as Americans!
Thanks so much, Judy!
In doing this, we seem to have done something I thought all along was possible, but never figured out how to do before. You'll need to stop the music on the Newsletter before you open this. |

a 1946 Chevy panel truck. Get him to send you a picture.Dave Arnold AHA! I haven't heard from that man for forty-eleven years, and was planning to write him anyway to see what was new. So that's what's new, hmm?

And thank you,
Dave!

Hi, Carol:
Please thank
Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA for
the outstanding reminder of how
the little things
affect our lives. What a wonderful illustration, and I am sure many of
your subscribers were inspired reading her submission in this newsletter.
Thanks for publishing it!
To follow up on the topic of showing respect for our
warriors and remembering them,
Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA might
consider placing Captains Laura and George ______ in the Army
Historical Foundation Registry. It will memorialize their service to our
Nation. Visit
www.armyhistory.org to register.
Carol, I also hope that you will register your
late
father as well. There is no charge to register, and if you wish to
add a photograph there is a $10.00 charge.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thanks
so much, Major Madagan! You're an extremely thoughtful man!
I'll certainly try to take care of this with all haste!

God Bless the U.S.A.
- Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all
the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
Thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'll gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
There's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say...
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'ld gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'ld gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
