The first thing a
soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for
you?" is...We need your support and your prayers. Please read the full
story . The children of our troops need our support also. These are stories that I have received by email or have been told by RV'ers that we have met. I will be adding more as I hear them or receive them. You can send me your story and it could be posted here for everyone to learn or enjoy. I have a few more to add as I have time and will continue to do so. Sometimes, to protect the innocent, I will leave them nameless, but I think that we can all gain from my sharing the stories with you and you reading them. Some will be funny, some sad, all will be of life experiences as an RVer.
This one will remain nameless:- I copied his email, minus names, so that we could all learn and at the same time enjoy the story. He is a story teller at this email will show you. They are super people and we are happy all ended well. How to shorten a fiver two and a half feet, in less then 10 seconds "We have had an interesting couple of days.
FORTUNATELY, 2.5 feet of the height is air conditioner and various vents. After going under the bridge, our rig was in tact - at least the first 11 feet if it. The final 2.5 feet were laying on the ground behind us. Now, when you lose that 2.5 feet it leaves gaping holes in the roof. We were directed to a "repair" shop. I can't fully describe the disrepair of this repair shop. Nor can I accurately describe the two operators of the shop. Both were fine fellows but upon meeting them the term "hillbilly" sprang to mind. Despite our misgivings about their shop, their ability, their knowledge and their parentage - they managed to cover all the holes and make our rig waterproof for the trip to Ontario, where our dealer will fix it. Insurance is looking after everything and has been wonderful to deal with. I hate being the "guy" other RV'ers talk about when they get
together. No one hurt, damage can be repaired and we are on our way again -
We were so sad to hear about their accident, but they have remained positive and have overcome. All is now well. I don't know if I could have wrote as cheerfully about it, we were happy that he was.
My sister Connie worked for the World Bank and was right across the river when the plane hit the Pentagon. She is still suffering from shock of the whole 9/11 experience. So when I received this from a Canadian full-timer friend it made me think!
Urban legend or true story; it has a profound message. :)
How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of
>September, 2001...Thought you might like to know what happened in a little
>town north of Bakersfield, California. After you finish reading this,
please forward this story on to others so that our nation and
people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out
about the tragic events in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.
>On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a
convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy
that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two
Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval
and support of this treacherous attack. The Budweiser employee when to his
truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't
feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him,
"Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every
Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells
there? We'll never deliver to them again." The employee walked
in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and
left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother to call
for a delivery again.
>Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community.
>Just letting you know how Kern County, California handled this
situation. And Now The Rest Of The Story >It seems that the Bud driver and
the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him.
>Pepsi called his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!!!
>That would include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word spread all
vendors followed suit! At last report, the store and was
closed indefinitely.
>Good old American Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin! Pass this
along, America needs to know that we're all working together!
> If you are reading it in English....
>
THANK A SOLDIER!!!
> God
Bless America !!
>"I ask, sir, what is the militia?
