  The Passenger


by Staff Sgt. Jeramie Brown
Detachment 4, Air Force News Agency

11/14/2003 - RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFPN) -- Like most Americans, I find
that I am pretty selfish sometimes.  I learned just how selfish on a recent trip
to Iraq. I was sitting on a C-130 Hercules waiting to leave a location I can't
spell or pronounce, when we got delayed.  I was annoyed.  I'd been traveling for
hours trying to get to my destination and here we were, stuck in some
out-of-the-way place and I was hot, tired and ready to get there already.  Then
it happened. I found out we were waiting on another passenger.

I didn't know his name. I say 'his' but I didn't know if he was actually a he or
a she.  I didn't know what branch of service he was in or what rank he was.  All
I knew was that this passenger cost me another hour and a half on that plane.

Little did I know how profound an impact "The Passenger" would have on me. You
see, this passenger that we had to wait on, who delayed our trip and annoyed me
and the other passengers, was a casualty of war.

The ground crew brought him on board in a body bag.  They laid him down between
the jump seats and the cargo pallet, and covered him with Old Glory.  At that
moment, I felt the heat of shame in my face.  Who was I to worry about a little
lost sleep or a few extra hours on a plane when he had given his life in this
war?

By this time, everyone on board had stood up out of respect and, when they had
"The Passenger" secure, the sergeant leading the crew called the plane to
attention and barked a quick command.  Every man and woman on that plane, from
private to colonel immediately snapped a crisp salute in honor of the ultimate
sacrifice made by "The Passenger".  It was a moment of perfect unity. Every eye
on that flag, every arm raised in respect, every breath caught in every throat
for just one second.

With our respects paid, everyone took his or her seat and prepared for take-off.
I don't know about anyone else on that plane but I found myself contemplating
what this passenger's sacrifice meant: to me, to our country, but mostly to his
family.  I found myself wondering what he gave up for the war on terror. Did he
leave a wife behind when he deployed?  Did he have children out there somewhere
who would never see their father again? What about his parents, brothers and
sisters?  How would his family cope with his death?

Was the sacrifice he made for his country worth it?  To his family, perhaps not.
To the Iraqi families, maybe.

You see, I learned something else on this trip.  I learned how the Iraqi people
are living. Ramshackle houses... no cars... no central air, or any air
conditioning for that matter, none of the so called 'modern conveniences'.  I
also learned that, thanks to our efforts, some of the kids are now able to go to
school for the first time in years.  Teachers are allowed to teach in multiple
languages and cover subjects that were banned during the old regime.

Clinics are opening all over the country, doctors are no longer afraid that if
they misdiagnose someone it will cost them their lives.  That's right, there is
no malpractice insurance in Iraq. A doctor at one of the clinics told me that,
under the old regime, if a doctor made a mistake, he paid for it with his life. 
So was "The Passenger's" sacrifice worth it? I guess it depends on your point of
view.

Then I started thinking about my own family. How would my wife deal with my
death if it came on this trip?  Would my children be ok?  How horrible would it
be for my parents to outlive me? I thought of my brother and his family in
California. How many times have I meant to call them only to get distracted and
forget?  I haven't seen them in almost four years. My sister in Illinois hasn't
seen me in a couple of years either. When was the last time I called her?  Why
haven't I e-mailed her or my niece lately? I use to send her e-mails every week
or so, but I seem to have let my oh-so-busy life get in the way of communicating
with the ones I love.  Do I write enough?  Call enough?  Definitely not.  I
think that's what it all comes down to.

We get so wrapped up in our lives that we forget about the other people in this
world.  We forget that not everyone lives in a free society.  We forget that
sometimes you have to stand up for people who can't stand up for themselves.  We
forget that we have a responsibility to the people of this world, and not
because we are a super power or have the best military in the world, but simply
because we all share this planet.  We forget that, for good or bad, what one
person does affects everyone.

What we can't forget is that we never know when the moment of our death will
come. Don't forget to tell the people who are most important to you how much you
love them and how much you miss them.  Don't forget to take time out of your
'busy' schedule and call your family and friends.  Don't forget to do something
today that will make a difference tomorrow, so that when your time comes someone
can say 'Thank you for the sacrifices you made, you had a profound impact on my
life.'

So to "The Passenger," I say thank you.  Thank you for serving your country. 
Thank you for standing up for people who can't stand up for themselves.  Thank
you for making the ultimate sacrifice.  Most importantly, thank you for making
me realize that our time on this earth is never certain and we'd better do our
best to make it worthwhile.  May you find peace and happiness wherever you may
be.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go call my kids, my parents, my brother,
my sister...

Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 07:41:24 -0500

John's "Field of Dreams Today" December 23rd "Merry Christmas Email" was truly
inspiring. I appreciate how John leaves no doubt in our minds as to what he
cherishes in life and what he has been waiting to receive this Christmas. ~ A
great deal of our Christmas preparation is spent in waiting. We've all had to
wait and we really don't like it and certainly don't appreciate being told to
wait. None the less we all, especially the people of God, find ourselves waiting
whether we like it or not. And what we are waiting for and fully expecting is
Jesus to come any minute now to do something for us we cannot do for ourselves.
~ What are you waiting for this Christmas? We have been taught in Sunday School
or by our parents to say, "We are waiting for Jesus" all the while knowing in
our hearts Jesus has already come. Sometimes we play out the Christmas Story as
if it never happened. Maybe that is why we are so stressed out in our waiting.
We want to experience the baby Jesus once more. But
  the reality is God's Son, the Christ, is already here seeking entrance into the
hearts and lives of an obedient people. ~ Maybe what we really need to be
waiting for this Christmas are sign's of God's Kingdom in our midst. Christ
awakening a new sense of ethics within us, a new sense of selflessness, lifting
us out of self-pity, and causing us to care for others more than ourselves. What
we are really waiting for this Christmas is new life, a new vision of what life
can be like for us in the Christ who has already come. ~ We aren't the only ones
waiting. There's someone else waiting, too. It's God. What do you suppose God is
waiting for this Christmas? ~ Theologian Helmut Thielicke, has renamed the
parable of the prodigal son. He calls it "The Parable of the Waiting Father".
The waiting father's steadfast love never gives up on us. He is patiently
waiting at home for us wise men and women to wise up, and the shepherd in all of
us to wake up, not just to a baby in a manger but to who
  Jesus really is. ~ The waiting father, who do you suppose he's waiting for this
Christmas? ~ I pray in this season called Holy that both you and the waiting
father will receive your heart's desire. ~ Thanks be to God for His unspeakable
gift in Jesus Christ our Lord!

Grace and Peace to you and yours, Pastor, G. C. Branton, III ~  PS, I am now
going to list the things I cherish and wait for this Christmas.  Thank you, John
for leading us into an examination of our heart's desire. "Let's Roll"

Dreams Today"...The email that rings bells everyday so Angels can get their
wings..... ~ That was kinda icky sweet...Hey but it's Christmas... ~ From The

our Assoc editor and my protege MARC TECHMAN on the Miami Dolphins beating
Buffalo....Even though I lived in New York for 5 years...I really hate the
Buffalo Bills...Can you say Choke.... ~ From The Front Office...I was thinking
today about athiest....We may have some on this list and that's ok...But I
thought how sad...To go through life with nothing to look
  forward too after this life...To miss small miracles everyday and call thm a
coincident...To not celebrate in the mystery of faith...To not know the love of
God...To simply exist and not believe in anything spiritual....While of course
they have freedom from religion in this great Country...I still say HOW
SAD...And that's my Opine..... ~ The Way We Were....While in Auburn we played in
Falcon Park - The oldest minor league ballpark in America.....We had a storm one
summer day and our roof top press box fell to the pitchers mound...So the city
built us a make shift wooden hut until a new press box could arrive....It was a
shack...But our new shiny pre built all steel press box arrived....Great until
we had thunderstorms..It was like standing under a tree with a lightning rod and
saying "Strike me"...But old Falcon Park is now just a memory - But Marc and I
still hold the all-time attendance record at "Historic Falcon Park"....Marc how
in the world did we pack 55,000 people in that
  old place....From "Big League Dreams"....Today's Christmas Tip...Buy a dated

"The Internet's Christmas Email"......BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT UNDERSTAND AND
CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY SEASON...AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.... ~
WELCOME to the Sunday "Field of Dreams Today"...The Email that is your daily
yule log EVERY day of the year... ~ A BIG Welcome to my dear friend ANITA
WILBORN to our family...Anita and I worked together some 20 years ago and have
been friends since...Anita is President of the Crenshaw United Methodist Church
Woman's Club and a charter member of the Blackstone Bomber Pilots Advisory
board...Great to have you with us!!... ~ As I do the "Field" I turn to NBC and
to my surprise the movie "Titanic" is showing...As you know I have been having
some "Titanic" moments this week..But had no idea it was on this week....I was
thinking...Not only did "Rose" (Kate Winslet) "Let Go"...When promising to
"Never Let Go"..But she was nominated for the Academy Award...And poor Fish bait
"Jack" (Leonardo DiCaprio) got no nomination....I never did
  think Leonardo was the best choice for the part...I mean "Rose" was twice as
big as him and refused to share that drift wood...So he became a popscicle and
she is still roaming the earth...The Movies slogan was "Nothing On Earth Could
Keep Them Apart"....Except that selfish "Rose"... ~ OK let me explain the
Titanic thing...I really like the movie alot..I know that when they said "They
would never let go" it was a statement about their feelings for each other..But
I enjoy picking at "Rose" sometimes.... ~ Today's Featured Web Site
http://Titanic.com ....They offer a free 50 mb email..I even have one
JohnGraham@... ....Free 50 mb emails are very very rare these days... ~
I have found that during this festive time of year that many people sing..And
that's great..But some people SHOULD NOT sing...Let their be joy in the air with
people that can carry a tune.... ~ Christmas tip of the Day...Save all those
Christmas card envelops...Cut off the address label and tape them in a
  special Christmas address list..It will save ime writing them in a book or
entering them in a PDA...... ~ YES VIRGINIA there is a SANTA CLAUS....He along

family and friends now and let them know you care.... ~ Things that bother Me..I
was watching a Christmas movie on "Lifetime" yesterday...It only had 10 minutes
left...But than their logo popped up "Television for Woman"...So I had to turn
to Spike TV.... ~ Trim the Tree....Let your Christmas Joy Show......~ That's the

"America's Christmas Email".....MAY CHRISTMAS JOY.....AND PEACE...BE WITH YOU
AND YOURS....NOW AND FOREVER.... ~ WELCOME to The T.G.I.F. "Field of Dreams
Today".....The Email that uses the phrase  MERRY CHRISTMAS...And is not
politically correct.... ~ Here is my blatant political web sie of the day....
http://stophillarypac.com ...I guess you know that the thought of Hillary
Clinton as President horrifies me..... ~ In "Titanic" ... "Rose" promises "Not
to let go" ...But as you know she did...My question is at the end when old
"Rose" steps up on the railing of the ship....Why didn't she jump in to join
"Jack"...But no she just drops a necklace into the North Atlantic...And goes to
bed...HMMM..... ~ Our good friend has sent us an email that is just a great
idea...Write a soilder that is away from home for Christmas...This is a great
way to honor these fine men and woman....That's the Friday "Field"..Be Merry..Be
Safe..Be Americans..."Sic Semper Tyrannis"...Let's Roll!!

All I ask is that you pick one name, and send one card for xmas. Nothing
more or less. Some of you I am sending this e-mail to are Vets and know what
its like to be away from home and family over the holidays. Please just one
name and one card is all I ask. Thanks. Pass this on to anyone you think
would help spread some encouragement to the soldiers.

Tyrants

Reply

   In ancient days
of Rome and such
one who ruled
often lost touch
ruled with a fist
not often fair
but then when a tyrant
who would dare
some were elected
by their peers
a farce of election
for only those near
others won by greed
or war
those who lost
they lost much more
the people lost
freedoms
lands
wives and children
even their hands
rights
such as rights could be
given out to aristocracy
the rich
the wealthy
those who were male
for women were used
along with ones ale

Tyrants
such a name
Saddam was one
they were all the same
big on freedoms
or the lack, thereof
they sought more power
just because
and if you didn't agree to agree
then those you love
would never see
your smiling face
or you see theirs
just a one way exit
through a one way door

Tyrants
dictators
president
for life
lord
master
the one
with the knife
to cut out your heart
to remove all your hope
to cut off your tongue
so you don't talk and mope
to cut off your ears
so hope is not heard
to remove all your fingers
so you can't write a word
to constantly remind you
that you have no name
and never to teach you
so you'd never gain

Tyrants
terrorize
creating fear
removing obstacles
all that is dear
lessons
are made
often
to be learned
to behave
and be frightened
of shadows
and birds

once was a tyrant
who wished to be king
who sought only gold
and all that'd bring
fought to have more lands
didn't mind the dead
as long as he won
he'd sleep fine in bed
and he didn't like to lose
and if he didn't win
he'd take out frustrations
on others on a whim

Tyrants
defenders of god
so sayeth their scribes
public servants who'll die
for the lies they describe
if truth be said
tyrants
wish to be god
or to one be wed
is what I said
they care only for themselves
care nothing for their people
killing is easy
in homes or a steeple

tyrants
losers in life
win over the masses
with talk of their strife
public relations
what need of that
when a gun to a head
states better the fact
keep ignorant the masses
let them eat cake
and if they want more
try an easy bake

Saddam was a tyrant
who wanted it all
crested in gold
in a big round ball
would kill off his people
would friend terrorists
if it made him feel greater
he did do this
and look where it got him
no silver and gold
just probably a noose
for the year is old

To all ye tyrants
everywhere
be aware
times are a changin
times are now
and your time
is coming up
and your people
know
it
too.

THIS MADE ME CRY!!
We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high
chair and noticed everyone was quietly eating and talking. Suddenly, Erik
squealed with glee and said, "Hi there. " He pounded his fat baby hands on the
high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter and his mouth was bared in a
toothless grin, as he wriggled and giggled with merriment. I looked around and
saw the source of his merriment. It was a man whose pants were baggy with a
zipper at half-mast and his toes poked out of would-be shoes. His shirt was
dirty and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be
called a beard and his nose was so varicose it looked like a road map. We were
too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled. His hands waved and
flapped on loose wrists. "Hi there, baby; Hi there, big boy. I see yaw, buster,
" the man said to Erik. My husband and I exchanged looks, "What do we do? " Erik
continued to laugh and answer, "Hi, hi there. " Everyone in
  the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man. The old geezer was
creating a nuisance with  my beautiful baby. Our meal came and the man began
shouting from across the room, "Do ya patty cake? Do you know peek-a-boo? Hey,
look, he knows peek-a-boo. " Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was
obviously drunk. My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all
except for Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid
row bum, who in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments. We finally got
through the meal and headed for the door. My  husband went to pay the check and
told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat poised between me and
the door. "Lord, just let me out of here before he speaks to me or Erik, " I
prayed. As I drew closer to the man, I turned my back trying to sidestep him and
avoid any air he might be breathing. As I did, Erik leaned over my arm, reaching
with both arms in a baby's "pick-me-up" position.  Before I
  could stop him, Erik had propelled himself from my arms to the man's. Suddenly
a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love relationship.
Erik in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the
man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his
lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's
bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so
short a time. I stood awestruck. The old man rocked and cradled Erik in his arms
and his eyes opened and set squarely on mine. He said in a firm commanding
voice, "You take care of this baby. " Somehow I managed, "I will, " from a
throat that contained  a stone. He pried Erik from his chest unwillingly,
longingly, as though he were in pain. I received my baby, and the man said, "God
bless you, ma'am, you've given me my Christmas gift. " I said nothing more than
a muttered thanks. With Erik in my arms, I ran for the
  car. My husband was wondering why I was crying and holding Eric so tightly, and
why I was saying, My God, My God, forgive me. I had just witnessed Christ's love
shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who make no
judgment; a child who saw a soul and a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a
Christian who was blind, holding a child who was not.  I felt it was God asking,
"Are you willing to share your son for a moment?"  When He shared His for all
eternity. The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, "To enter the
Kingdom of God, we must become as little children." If this has blessed you,
please bless others by sending it on.  This is to remind us that Christmas isn't
about material things!




IT'S ABOUT LOVE .!.

Kingdom of God, we must become as little children." If this has blessed you,
please bless others by sending it on.  This is to remind us that Christmas isn't
about material things!

"America's Freedom Email"....SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS - DEATH TO TYRANNS...~ WELCOME
to the Sunday Field of Dreams...A Day of Dreams for all of us and the people of
Iraq came true today..SADDAM was caught like a rat in a hole.... ~ I use the
"Sic Semper Tyrannis" motto to close the Field on most days..It is the official
motto of The Comonwealth of Virginia - "Thus to Tyrannts" ...Death to Tyrannts
and Tyranny....VIRGINIA adopted the motto in response to the than tyranny of
KING GEORGE of England...The colonies were ruled with no say in their
future...No Hope...No real freedom....Today on Victorty Iraq Day it is as
current as today's news. Saddam Hussein terriorized and killed millions of his
own people for 4 decades...He tortured virtually at least one member of every
Iraq citizen....He stole billions of dollars from his people as they
starved....He raped and took as he pleased...He showed his true colors today as
he surrendered as a coward in a hole...The United States and our partners
  have given a great gift to the people of Iraq and the World....We know the
hostilities are not over - But we also know that Hussein WILL NEVER rule Iraq or
scare another innoncent person or Country again...This moment would not be upon
us today had some had had their way in not only the world but this
Country...President Bush made a decision that the safety of our country depended
on this..He also decided that turning a blind eye on Tyrannts would stop. The
World and the United States are tonight a safer place to live...GOOD does WIN
over EVIL and those like Saddam have to pay the price....This is one of those
days that you will always remember....Just like Pear Harbor....And VJ Day and VE
Day...And the Day we landed on the moon....It will be forever part of our
lives...Certainly tough times lay ahead..But on this day we can all stand proud
that our fantastic Country and military made this day possible...And we can
celebrate freedom..... ~ OK So what does Howard Dean run on now???
  HMMM...... ~ AT The Movies..."Master and Commander"....Got great reviews...Was
good but not great..2 baseballs..... ~ So Dallas shutouts the Redskins for the
first time  since 1971...Steve Spurrier your days are numbered at Redskins
Park...... ~ WE REMEMBER and pray for the families of the men and woman of the
US military and the coalition that lost their family members...You are true
HEROES!!..... ~ HEY SADDAM..Nice new doo...NOT...Lice and all.... ~ Rounding
Third...Let Freedom Ring.....That's the Sunday "Field"...Hope you have a great
weekend...Be Safe...Be Proud.....Celebrate being AMERICANS....."Sic Semper
Tyrannis"...Let's Roll!!

The Promise
There's a promise in our sorrow
and a blessing when we sigh.
There's a light beyond the shadows
and a cleansing when we cry.

So when we are discouraged,
and face tremendous grief;
it is during those times of trouble,
that the heavens send relief.

With our heart in tune with Jesus,
our source of joy and peace,
be mindful of His promise,
that all suffering He would cease.

He's cried our tears of sadness;
He's felt our every pain,
He's walked our path before,
all glory to His name.

Just listen for the spirit,
as it whispers to be still,
for there is joy and comfort
beyond sad Calvary's hill.

So if the sky should darken
and if the earth should quake,
remember life has struggles
on the journey that we take.

The aftermath of sorrow
is beauty and pure light,
if we can fight the battle
and pray with soul and might.

He sent us rainbow colors
to follow cleansing rain,
He showed us there are miracles
that come with all the pain.

Seek forbearance in the hardships,
or when we fear or roam.
Cast your burdens on the Savior,
and He'll come and take us home.

For He is our great Redeemer
our only true best friend,
He promised he would never leave,
He'll guide us to the end.

TODAY'S FIELD COMES COURTESY OF PASTOR BRANTON...

During Sunday's Children's Christmas Pageant we noticed a bright beam
of
light was focused on the manger. As we traced the light to its
source we
found that it also bisected the altar cross causing a shadow of the
cross to
appear on the manger. The source of light was from the sun shining
through
the stain glass window behind the pulpit. It was an awesome
experience to
see the manger overshadowed by the cross.

It opened a memory of another Children's Christmas Pageant from a
previous
church I served. The church invited all of the community's children
to come
and participate in their Christmas pageant. There was a great
response and
we found that many of the children had not heard the entire Christmas
story
and were not able to repeat the story at any level accurately. It
was a
little stressful but fun to work with children who were interested in
learning the Christmas story.

During one of the Christmas Pageant rehearsals I noticed that one of
the
children, while holding a doll taken from the nursery, would
occasionally
peer into the manger and appeared to be talking to the doll we used
to
portray the baby Jesus. Despite the high noise level and movement of
children around him he remained focused on the child in the manger.
Suddenly
he startled everyone by positioning his doll beside the Jesus doll.
It was
more than one child could take. She reached in the manger and
grabbed the
intruder doll casting it to the floor. Both children were distraught
and
began shouting insults at each other which soon turned into a shoving
match.

Pageant rehearsal being almost over I chose to speak with each child
at the
manger. I spoke first to the child who had cast the doll to the
floor. She
was frustrated because the story's integrity had been compromised,
saying
that, "Mary placed Jesus in the manger. It wasn't right to have two
babies
in the manger." Who can argue with orthodoxy - that's what the story
says!

It was the other child's turn. For having heard so little of the
Christmas
story he did well remembering it was Mary's duty to place Jesus in
the
manger. Then he said something that profoundly changed my view of
the manger
forever. He said, "The manger looked so big and Jesus looked so
lonely that
I asked the baby Jesus if it would be OK if we put another baby in
the manger
to be his friend." Jesus told him it was OK and asked if he would
like to
get in the manger with him.

My young friend had entered the story through the manger and
connected to the
one who would never abandon him in his loneliness or treat him
badly. He had
found the one who would accept him as he was and would stay with him
always.
It was then I realized that God's encompassing love for us is so
great it
takes in the entire world and there will always be room for another
baby in
the manger. We know this because the words in John's gospel say, "For
God so
loved the world He gave His only begotten Son ...." The cross does
cast a
shadow on the manger and we are saved because of it.

This Christmas Eve may we discover like my young friend discovered
that God
in Jesus Christ will never abandon, reject or hurt us but chooses to
cuddle
us in His powerful love forever. And it is a love that says there is
always
room for another baby in the manger with Jesus.

Godbless you and yours now and forever,

From John Graham's, "Field of Dreams" with Marc Techman, In His
Service,
Pastor, G.C. Branton,III

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear:.. Field of Dreams Today
Merry Christmas!!!!
I hope you are looking
forward to having lots of
fun on Christmas Day. My
big trip around the world is
all planned and we are
getting things all ready.
Rudolph sneezed last year
just as we were coming in
for a landing and we side
swiped a snow bank so the
sleigh is getting a new
finish on it this year so it
should be even easier to
spot.
My weatherman says that I
should have clear skies for
Christmas Day. I really
don’t like flying in the fog. I
have seen your wish list
this year and can tell that
you are really growing up.
The toy you asked for is
very popular this year on
wish lists.
Be sure to hang your
stocking so I can fill it full
of little surprises.
I see by looking at my list
that you have been a good
child this year.
Rudolph is shining his nose
and the other reindeer are
getting ready for the big
night. Don't forget to go to
bed early on Christmas Eve
your town is one of my first
stops.
Merry Christmas
Santa Claus
Keep The Spirit Of Christmas all Year long ...:)

"The U.S.A's Patriot Email"......AMERICA'S BEST DAYS LAY AHEAD....NOT BEHIND
US...WE ARE THE SHINING CITY ON THE HILL.... ~ WELCOME to the Friday December 5,
2003 "Field of Dreams"....We had some sleet and light snow here in southside
Virginia..But Mostly rain..It does help put you i the Holiday spirit... ~ FROM
The Front Office...Much has been said about the CBS and than Showtime movie "The
Reagan's"....I flatly refused to watch it....To do an attack movie on a dying
President and his wife who cares for his every need is simply evil...Liberals
really don't want conservatives to have a hero to look to....They had FDR - Who
I think did some real good things for this country - But we have a double
standard for some reason....I have been working in politics since I was 8
helping my Dad hand out NIXON literature at the polls..But President Reagan was
the first Presidential election I could vote in...The more I heard this former
actor speak the more I liked him....He did not just want to
  exists with communist - He wanted to defeat them..AND HE DID.....Even former
Soviets agree that Reagan pushed the Soviet Union to fall....Ths man rebuilt our
military and made it the greatest in the history of the world...He started the
longest peace time recovery in history..He restored dignity back to the
Presidency...Of course he had some policies that did not work as well as he

"America's Compassionate Conservative Email"....THERE IS NO FOLLY......EQUAL OF
THROWING AWAY FRIENDSHIP...IN A WORLD WHERE FRIENDSHIP IS SO RARE..... ~ WELCOME
to the Weds Field of Dreams....The email where TOUGH LOVE is our middle name....
~ TODAY's Celebrity Birthday...PLAYBOY magazine turns 50....50 years...That
Hefner guy is one busy dude!!..... ~ THE WAY WE WERE...In 1976 The Philadelphia
Phillies moved their Top Class "A" affliate from Rocky Mount,North Carolina to
Peninsula - Hampton,VA...They had been in Peninsula in 70 and 71 winning the
1971 CL title but were asked to leave so that Peninsula could try it's hand at
"AAA" ball...Anyway my mentor BOB NEAL wanted Opening Night to be a huge
celebration....The stadium was sparkling with new paint,banners,new seats and
many other improvements....For opening night he purchased 10,000 candles to give
to every fan...The intention was to have every fan light one or more candles
during the National Anthem...Cool..Huh...Well the
  Hampton Fire Marshall got word of this and told us NO WAY ...NOT GONNA
HAPPEN....So those Red...White and Blue candles still sit melting away 27 years
later somewhere in the confines of Peninsula War Memorial Stadium....Maybe we
should have had a candle give away night.... From "Big League Dreams"...... ~
One of our new family members emaied me about my remarks about sending a
Christmas card to "red'....Since some of you do not know the whole "red" saga
let me say this about him in the very nicest way I can......He is the most vial
....lying creep I have ever known...That was as kind as I can put it.... ~
TODAY'S HOLIDAY TIP...Remember no more than 3 sets of lights should be hooked
together...And please use white lights....They are class and grace for your
tree..And if you do use color ligts please avoid those awful green and orange
bulbs..... ~ I am so sick and tired of the ACLU trying to take Christmas out of
every public place....Remember Freedom of Religion...Not Freedom From
  Religion...ACLU - Just SHUT UP....... ~ Rounding Third and Heading Home...The
Vocation of Every Man and Woman....Is to Serve Other People....That's the Dec 3
"Field of Dreams".... Be Safe..Be Bold...Be Americans....."In Hoc Sicno
Vinces"....Let's Roll!!

Winston-Salem, North Carolina...The Peninsula Pilots were in town playing the
Winston- Salem Red Sox.....We - The defending Carolina League Champs - were
staying at a Best Western..I was sitting at the pool with Field manager JIM
SYNDER having a nice chat...And all of a sudden a very large country man came up
to us screaming at us "Where is my daughter?".....Well she was a "groupie" and
had met one of our players.....I got the signal from Jim to go resolve the
problem while I ran from room
  to room to fix the situation....Sure enough one of our players - a future major
leaguer - was "entertaining" the young lady....We quickly got her out of the
back of the hotel and was never heard from again...Well until the next trip we
made there....From "Big League Dreams"...... ~ MOVIE REVIEW...."Scary Movie 3"

the weekend edition of The Field from Syracuse, New York. Current
temperature is 34 degrees....By now you all have read the email from
our

This
will be a 4-day weekend as I will be with you through Monday....So,
Michael

window. Of course not, there was no crime committed. Michael should
be
committed. He had Lisa Marie Pressley and he let her get

Rivalry weekend in college football with Michigan travelling to Ohio
State
and their 101,000 screaming fans. I visited Buckeye stadium once and
it is
indeed HUGE. What's bigger, 110,000 at Michigan. ESPN had an on
line poll
wanting to know the best college football rivalry. The choices were
Michigan-Ohio State, Notre Dame-USC, Army-Navy and a few others. One
of the
choices, my choice was Auburn-Alabama. For Alabama, you could go 1-
11, but
as long as you BEAT AUBURN, you were safe as a coach. Go 11-1 and
lose to
Auburn, well ask Bill Curry. I remember for awhile, this game was
played on
the Friday after Thanksgiving. People would be in the parking lot at
Legion
Field in Birmingham in their RV's on TUESDAY. Yes, Thanksgiving
dinner in a
stadium parking lot. I love it....BARRY BONDS is the greatest player
in
Major League Baseball, just ask him....People are irate that CBS
televised
the Victoria Secret fashion show calling it soft porn. Here's a hint
to you
all - TURN THE CHANNEL. These groups also complained that the Bugs
Bunny
cartoons were too violent....AND FINALLY - Don't dress for the job
you've
got, dress for the job you want....Thats the Saturday Field. See you
