YOUNG PEOPLE CANNOT LEARN FROM HISTORY ANY MORE BECAUSE HISTORY IS NO LONGER TAUGHT AS A REQUIRED SUBJECT IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.

THEODORE “DUTCH” J. VAN KIRK WAS THE NAVIGATOR ON THE “ENOLA GAY” WHEN IT DROPPED THE BOMB AT HIROSHIMA, JAPAN.  HE IS THE LAST SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE CREW. THIS REALLY HAPPENED.

DUTCH WAS ASKED TO SPEAK AT A GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN 2012.  THE YOUNG TEACHER INTRODUCED HIM BY SAYING THE SPEAKER WAS A VETERAN OF WORLD WAR ELEVEN (AS IN WWII)? 

DUTCH STOOD UP & WALKED OUT OF THE SCHOOL WITHOUT SAYING A WORD. END OF STORY.

GOD HELP US!

FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND, NO EXPLANATION IS NEEDED.

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND, NO EXPLANATION IS POSSIBLE.

GOVERNMENT NOTICE!

To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.  Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home.  Be sure to send this notice to your relatives and friends, so they will know what happened to you.  I started to cry when I thought of you.

Then it dawned on me; I’ll see you on the damn bus!
