I will never see Monopoly the same again!!!

Subject: A really interesting piece of history...

In 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape.

Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter.

Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and

should they get wet, they turn into mush.

Someone in MI-5 (Britains' security service) got the idea of printing escape maps on silk. It's durable, can be scrunched-up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes no noise whatsoever.

At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd. When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy to do its bit for the war effort.

By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages' dispatched by the International Red Cross to prisoners of war.

Under the strictest of secrecy, in a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy where Allied POW camps were regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded into such tiny dots that they would actually fit

inside a Monopoly playing piece.

As long as they were at it, the clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to add:

1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass

2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together

3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money!

British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set -- by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free Parking square.

Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly sets. Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another, future war.

The story wasn't declassified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honored in a public ceremony.

It's always nice when you can play that 'Get Out of Jail' Free' card!

Muslim have gone on the rampage in Bradford , killing anyone who's English.
Police fear the death toll could be as high as 5.

Sat opposite an Indian lady on the train today, she shut her eyes and stopped breathing.
I thought she was dead until I saw the red spot on her forehead, and realised she was just on standby.

Just Fostered a Muslim.
All 4 cans hit him right on the back of the head.

Got a right beating last night by a 6ft 7in black bloke
All I said was, "golly you're tall.".

They've had to cancel the panto 'jack & the beanstalk',in Birmingham , Oldham, Bradford, Burnley , Leicester & Luton:
Because the giant couldn't smell any Englishmen.

Years ago it was suggested that, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works a treat!

SOLDIERS PENSIONS

Soldiers Pensions

Sergeant Matthew Telford of the Grenadier Guards was promoted to the rank in

June 2009.

In November of that same year, Sergeant Telford was one of 5 British

soldiers killed when a rogue Afghan policeman opened fire on them.

His wife and family will only receive a Corporal's pension since he only

held his rank of Sergeant for less than a year.However, he was killed on

operations by the enemy whilst wearing three stripes of a Sergeant on active

service.

Please sign the petition below to support a change in the rules that deny a

hero's widow the pension she deserves.

VERY DISTURBING

Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones! Last month, Montreal University and scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners
of beer within a one (1) hour period.

It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects,
yes, 100% of all these men :
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally, and
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

That proved it !

No further testing was considered necessary.

Dumb Blonds

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and, one night, he's doing a show in a small town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general...pathetically all in the name of humor!" The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells, "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap!"

Excitement in BAOR

We lost a Lynx helicopter near Halle yesterday,the pilot got it down away from houses,and the crew of three walked away with just a few bruises.

 

Due to the record low water three WW2 bombs came to light in the Rhine near Koblenz,the biggest,an 1.8ton mine I sailed over TWICE on cruises,however,this was a whopper,and so far 40,000 people have been evacuated.It is hoped to defuse the thing on Monday,the other two were just normal "bombs" and have been dealt with.

This is US

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know - and we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it wasNOT the senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement or
The spirit of God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country. Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party....... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I would send it to many more too!

The Stork

The teacher was telling the kids about the birds and the bees and she explained that when a man and a woman meet and fall in love, nine months later the stork usually brings them a little baby from its nest.

Little Gemma at the back of the class put her hand up and asks the teacher,

are you sure about the stork, miss? I think you're getting your birds mixed up 'cos my big sister just got a little baby and she said it was from a shag at the beach..!!!

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven of course

At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter. He says, 'Sisters, you all led such exemplary lives that the Lord is granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be.' The first nun says, 'I want to be Sophia Loren;'   And *poof* she's gone. The second says, 'I want to be Madonna' and *poof* she's gone. The third says, 'I want to be Sara Pipalini..' St. Peter looks perplexed. 'Who?' he asks 'Sara Pipalini;' replies the nun. St. Peter shakes his head and says, 'I'm sorry, but that name just doesn't ring a bell.' The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter. St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and says. 'No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months.' If you laugh, you are going straight to hell!

George Bush has a heart-attack and dies.

One day in the future, George Bush has a heart-attack and dies. 
 He immediately goes to hell,  where 
  the devil is waiting for him.

 
      "I don't know what to do here,"
 says the devil. "You are on my
list, but I have no room for you.
You definitely have to stay here,
so I'll tell you what I'm going to
do. I've got a couple of folks here
who weren't quite as bad as you.
I'll let one of them go, but you
have to take their place. I'll even
let YOU decide who leaves."
 
George thought that sounded
pretty good, so the devil opened
the door to the first room.
 
In it was Ted Kennedy and a
large pool of water. Ted kept
diving in, and surfacing, empty
handed. Over, and over, and
over he dived in and surfaced
with nothing. Such was his fate
in hell.
 
"No," George said. "I don't think
so. I'm not a good swimmer, and
I don't think I could do that all
day long."
 
The devil led him to the door of
the next room.
 
In it was Al Gore with a sledge-
hammer and a room full of rocks.
All he did was swing that hammer,
time after time after time.
 
"No, this is no good; I've got
this problem with my shoulder.
I would be in constant agony if
all I could do was break rocks
all day," commented George.
 
The devil opened a third door.
Through it, George saw Bill
Clinton, lying on the bed, his
arms tied over his head, and his
legs restrained in a spread-eagle
pose. Bent over him was Monica
Lewinsky, doing what she does
best.
 
George looked at this in shocked
disbelief, and finally said, "Yeah
man, I can handle this."
 
The devil smiled and said...........

  (This is priceless...) 

 

 
   "OK, Monica, you're free to go."

Seven Dwarfs Go To Rome

The seven dwarfs go to the Vatican , and because they are the seven dwarfs, they are immediately ushered in to see the Pope. Grumpy leads the pack. 'Grumpy, my son,' says the Pope, 'What can I do for you?'  Grumpy asks, 'Excuse me your Excellency, but are there any dwarf nuns in Rome ?'  The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment and answers, 'No, Grumpy, there are no dwarf nuns in Rome .' In the background, a few of the dwarfs start giggling. Grumpy turns around and glares, silencing them. Grumpy turns back, 'Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all of Europe ?' The Pope, puzzled now, again thinks for a moment and then answers, 'No, Grumpy, there are no dwarf nuns in Europe .. 'This time, all of the other dwarfs burst into laughter. Once again, Grumpy turns around and silences them with an angry glare. Grumpy turns back and says, 'Mr.. Pope! Are there ANY dwarf nuns anywhere in the world?' The Pope, really confused by the questions says, 'I'm sorry, my son, there are no dwarf nuns anywhere in the world.' The other dwarfs collapse into a heap, rolling and laughing, pounding the floor, tears rolling down their cheeks, as they begin chanting...... 'Grumpy shagged a penguin!' 'Grumpy shagged a penguin!'

Love The Irish

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, 'Do you want to go to heaven?' O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.' The priest said, 'I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?' O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.'

Paddy was in New York . He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay, pedestrians.'

SHOPPING CENTER SCAMS

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the shopping centre and in dark parking lots, etc.

This is the first warning I have seen for men.

I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.
A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at B&Q, Halfords and the like as this caught me totally by surprise.

Over the last couple of months I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping.

Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic.

Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle.

They both start wiping your windscreen with a rag and Windolene, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It's impossible not to look).

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's.

You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, unzipping your trousers and distracting you with her mouth while the other one forces her body into your face whilst she steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen September 1st, 9th 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also February 1st & 4th,

Twice on the 8th, 12th, 21st, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men.. Warn your friends to be vigilant.

Tesco has wallets on sale for £2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for £1.59 at Homebase and bought all the stock in three of their stores.

Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from B&Q to Halfords etc.

So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)

THIS IS TYPICAL BANKS

You would not credit this. Only in UK would you get a Bank like this one.. Death duty...? This was reported in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle recently. Be sure to cancel your credit cards before you die!!! This is so priceless and so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today! A lady died this past September, and MBNA bank billed her for October and November for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance that had been £0.00, now is somewhere around £60.00. A family member placed a call to the MBNA Bank: Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you that she died in September.' MBNA: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.' MBNA: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.' Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?' MBNA: 'Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!' Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?' MBNA: 'Excuse me?' Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you ..... The part about her being dead?' MBNA: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.' Supervisor gets on the phone: Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died in September.' MBNA: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?' MBNA: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?' Family Member: 'No, I'm her grandson' (Lawyer info given) MBNA: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?' Family Member: 'Sure.' (fax number is given) After MBNA gets the fax: MBNA: 'Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.' Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care.' MBNA: 'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.' Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?' MBNA: 'That might help.' Family Member: ' Heaton Cemetery , Heaton Road , Newcastle upon Tyne Plot 1049.' MBNA: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!' Family Member: 'Well, what the f*** do you do with dead people on your planet?' MBNA were not available for comment when a reporter from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle rang.

deck of cards

Here is a new way to look at a deck of cards!!
Please do not delete! You will be glad you didn't.
Deck of Cards

It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for
some reason hadn't been heard.
The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week.

As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them
out across his bunk.

Just then an army sergeant came in and said, 'Why aren't you with the
rest of the platoon?'

The soldier replied, 'I thought I would stay behind and spend some
time with the Lord.'

The sergeant said, 'Looks to me like you're going to play cards.'

The soldier said, 'No, sir . You see, since we are not allowed to have
Bibles or other spiritual books in this country,

I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards.'

The sergeant asked in disbelief, 'How will you do that?'

'You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God.

The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments

The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John ..

The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them
were glorified.

The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth.

The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.

The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and
their wives -- the eight people God spared from the flood that
destroyed the Earth..

The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy He cleansed
ten, but nine never thanked Him.

The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses
on tablets made of stone.

The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God's first angels, but he got
kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker
of eternal hell.

The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.

The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.

When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one
for every day of the year.

There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year.

The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Each suit has thirteen cards -- there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.

So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old
deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful
for.'

The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes
and pain in his heart, he said, 'Soldier, can I borrow that deck of
cards?'

Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our
soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line
fighting

Veterans Day 11/11/11 USA

I have spent the past 8 years as guest of the Town of Walpole MA, at there Veterans day Parade.

Procurement of girls.

This morning I was listening to a report on the BBC News channel which dealt with the problem of young girls being procured for sex. The areas of geographical concern were in the Bolton and Blackburn areas, as well as others in the vicinity.

Some of the girls were as young as 12.

The point of the report was that the vast majority of the adult males involved in the procurement were of Asian descent. Why should they be “honoured” in this way? One of the young Asians interviewed made a valid point. He said that the parents of the Asian girls didn’t let them out at night and always knew where they were.

So was he inferring that we, as British parents didn’t care where or what our children are doing!! So therefore we were responsible for the outcome of the predicament. That we weren’t concerned about the welfare of the young white females.

It seems that most of the young girls are either from a family that have problems, or they are from somewhere like Barnardos.

The report stated that the procurement is organised and that there have been groups of adult male Asians trawling the streets looking for impressionable young females. They have been taking their time in grooming them, by plying them with drink and/or drugs.

I’m not saying that all of the procurement is being done by Asians alone, there have been cases of whites and black doing the same thing.

I think that the Asian thing is due to the fact that back “home” it is not uncommon for a child to be married off at a very young age. We would class it as paedophilia but to the Asian community it is normal.

(I would be most willing to accept your donations for chemical castration kits or blunt knifes whichever is your preference).

A day at the seaside.

 

No, its not Somalia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, its SOUTHEND ON SEA Saturday the end of July 2011.


OH BRITAIN, where did we go wrong ?

We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.

Are you aware of the following?

The British Government provides the following financial assistance: -

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Weekly allowance £104.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Weekly allowance £250

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Weekly Spouse allowance £25

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Weekly Spouse allowance £225

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Additional weekly hardship allowance £0;00

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Additional weekly hardship allowance £100

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT < £6,000

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN TOTAL
YEARLY BENEFIT £29,900

We need to lobby for a decent aged pension.

After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.

Sad isn't it?

Todays Government

Have to be honest with you all!!

 I would like to share with you an experience that I recently had regarding drinking and driving.

As you would know, most of us have had brushes with the law on our way home at one time or another. Well I for one have done something about it.

The other night I was out for dinner and a few drinks with some friends. Having had a few too many single malts and knowing full well I was struggling, I did something I've never done before. I took a bus home.

I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I have never driven a bus before.

Read the text before watching the video

F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier.

This guy clearly has brass and you know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them. Intentional? Hardly!
This is unbelievable!

F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff a real "check your laundry" event.
A supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million,
F-35 joint strike force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem.

There's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have.
Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and
do a little more "regressive testing". This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control... wow!

If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him!
Add to this flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment malfunctions, as in "flame out".

The F-35 is single engine aircraft with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed.
This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life.

This guy's coolness saved a 70 million-dollar aircraft! On the other hand, he might not have had time to react to anything except just ride it.

EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

 *THIS IS BRILLIANT AND VERY TRUE.

EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer
Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15 2008. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the
message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world.

EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ
By Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a
terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ... We killed six million
Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we
burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the
chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and
wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life:
science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience
of the world.

These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove
to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened
our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and
ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and
poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families
with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish
cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.

Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government,
they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical
hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for
backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and
their talent for a better future for their children, their
determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who
pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for
themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe ..
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they
imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to
themselves.

Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its
school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which
claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is
a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how
easily each country is giving in to it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6
million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900
Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten,
experimented on and humiliated.' Now, more than ever, with Iran,
among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is
imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in
the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade
Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United
States ?

Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass
this along. Wake up America before it's too late!
