TIDBITS® Gives a Heartfelt Thanks for Serving!

by Patricia L. Cook

While our military men and women are serving our country around the world, we should realize the sacrifices they are mak-ing and support them with our cards, letters, and thoughts. Let’s look at some serious as well as lighthearted military Tidbits.

Military service tends to run in families. • U.S. Army General George S. Patton, Jr. was one of the most famous gener-als who served in World War II. He had ancestors who served in the Revolution-ary War, Mexican War and Civil War and grew up listening to their stories. The 1970 mov-ie Patton is a must-see. General Patton • was known for being a fearless leader. He once said, “There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to nev-er listen to any fear.”Soldiers in World War II needed a choc-• olate candy boost just like many of us. M&M’s were first given to GIs by the U.S. Army in 1941 and were exclusively for the military during the war. They were origi-nally packaged in cardboard tubes. The tagline, “melts in your mouth, not in your hands” was not introduced until 1954. When World War II ended in 1945 there • were almost 11,000,000 men and women in the U.S. military services.We remember Richard Nixon as the Pres-• ident who resigned because of the Water-gate scandal…but he also was the Navy Lieutenant who served free hamburgers and Australian beer to flight crews at Nix-on’s Snack Shack, the only hamburger stand in the South Pacific during World War II.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again, or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things de-velop without pressure.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on that strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) To avoid neglect-ing a personal matter because of a demand-ing new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up while things are in a chaotic state.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end you should learn something that will help set the record straight.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Holi-day plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled pe-riod starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So make use of them in dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to the of-fer of help from an unlikely source.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) There could still be a communication prob-lem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually your message will get through and be understood.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be re-assessed because of the possibility of finding benefits you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A per-sonal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. In-stead, seek common ground by talking things through.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touch-ing people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would make an outstanding educator.

You have another month to wrap up your 2009 tax year. Taking even a few steps now can give you more deductions from your taxes next April. Here are some ideas:-- Make an additional mortgage payment this year and get a larger mortgage inter-est statement. That amount gets deducted from your Schedule A, assuming you item-ize and don’t take the standard deduction. Be sure to send it early enough that it’s included in your 2009 payments.-- If your property taxes aren’t escrowed, you likely get a bill with the amount due in two equal installments, one payable now and one in the spring. Pay all of it now and deduct it on your Schedule A.-- Make de-cluttering part of your holiday pre-guest cleaning, and donate the usable stuff to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Get a receipt for your donation with each item clearly listed. Consider using a soft-ware program called It’s Deductible made by Turbo Tax that will help you assign a realistic value. Keep your paperwork and deduct it on the Schedule A.-- If you itemize your deductions, your med-ical and dental deductions have to exceed the 7.5 percent Adjusted Gross Income before you actually get a deduction. If you know you’re already over that amount, consider using December for medical and dental procedures and add those to your deductions for the year. Remember to add up all of your medical mileage, too.-- Are you self-employed? Stock up on of-fice supplies you’ll need for the coming months. Buy computer paper by the car-ton and printer cartridges by the dozen if you’ll use them before they dry up. (Check the expiration dates.) Consider whether it’s time for a new computer, printer, ex-ternal hard drive or monitor, and buy them now. Watch the store sales between now and the end of the year for bargains.If your office phone is likely to fail in the next six months, consider buying a new one. You don’t actually have to use it until the old one stops working. Be sure to save all your receipts. Pre-pay any subscriptions you order for business. Defer income, if possible, by sending out invoices near the end of December so the payments won’t arrive until January. David Uffington regrets that he cannot person-ally answer reader questions, but will incor-porate them into his column whenever pos-sible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

cal Hospitals,” M*A*S*H, was based on the 1968 novel by Richard Hooker. MASH units were fully functional hospitals in combat zones. The first MASH, designed to get medical personnel closer to injured troops, was established in August 1945. During the Korean War, wounded sol-diers had a 96% survival rate once they received treatment at a MASH. The MASH on television was much smaller than real units. In Korea, one MASH handled over 600 casualties in 24 hours. On October 16, 2006 the last MASH was • deactivated; the 212th MASH based in Germany. The last deployment was to sup-port Pakistan in relief efforts after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The entire hospital, valued at $4,500,000 was donated to the Pakistani military. The 212th MASH sign is displayed at the Army Medical Depart-ment’s Museum in San Antonio, Texas.Comedian Bob Hope entertained our • troops at home and abroad over a span of six decades. He once said, “If I have to lay an egg for my country, I’ll do it.” The U.S.’s closest ally and fellow defender • of North America, Canada, has a Navy, Army and Air Force. The U.S. and Cana-da monitor and protect our airspace and ocean areas through the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

THANKS FOR SERVING! (continued)

The Medal of Honor is the highest and most • prestigious award an individual serving in the U.S. Armed Forces can receive. It is awarded to officers and enlisted personnel for individual acts of bravery in combat. It is presented by the President in the name of Congress and is often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. The first recipient of the Medal of Honor • was Private Jacob Parrott in 1863. There have been 3,447 total recipients, 19 have received two medals. You’ve probably heard of MREs. They • are “meals ready to eat.” The meals were adopted as combat rations by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1975 but not delivered for field evaluation until 1983. Originally intended to be eaten by troops for ten days or less, some troops in Opera-tion Desert Storm ate them for sixty days or more. Improvements through the years have helped make them tastier and more nutritious.“Concealing Coloration in the Animal King-• dom”, by Abbott Thayer in 1909 became required reading for camoufleurs, who were military personnel in charge of cam-ouflage. The word camouflage was first entered in the English language in 1917. Currently, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the khaki colored camouflage uniforms, tanks, and other equipment help our service men and women blend in with the desert envi-ronment.A Joint Resolution of Congress in 1976 se-• cured George Washington’s rank as “Gen-eral of the Armies of the United States,” (note the plural “Armies”) making it the highest rank in U.S. military history. The rank was a five star position given posthu-mously taking effect July 4, 1976. General John J. Pershing had also been awarded the title (over the “Armies”) as a leader in World War I but wore only four stars.

During World • War II, in Decem-ber 1944, a military rank of five stars was created. There were four Army Generals, four Navy Admirals and one Air Force Gen-eral that have held this rank.

The U.S. has five federal service acade-• mies for training military leaders. The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, • New York is the oldest continuously oper-

ating military post in the U.S., established in 1802.There were several Naval Schools that • preceded the United States Naval Acad-emy. In 1845 a 10-acre (4 ha) Army post named Fort Severn in Annapolis, Mary-land became the Naval School without Congressional funding. The school be-came the U.S. Naval Academy in 1850. The United States Marine Corps is part of the Navy and does not have a separate military academy. An Air Force Academy was being consid-• ered in the 1940s but did not become a reality until April 1, 1954, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill estab-lishing the U.S. Air Force Academy located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is the • smallest of the service academies and is located in New London, Connecticut. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in • Kings Point, New York trains shipboard officers and other transportation industry leaders for the U.S. merchant marine fleet, which essentially consists of all commer-cial ships owned by U.S. companies, reg-istered and operating under the U. S. flag. The long-running (1972-1983) sitcom that • brought attention to “Mobile Army Surgi-

On • Nov. 10, 1775, the Continental Congress passes a resolution stating that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for service as landing forces for the Continental Navy. The resolution created the Continental Marines and is now observed as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.On • Nov. 14, 1851, “Moby Dick,” a novel by Herman Melville about the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, is published. Initially the book was a flop. By the 1920s, scholars had rediscovered Melville’s work, and “Moby Dick” became a staple of high-school reading lists across the United States. On • Nov. 15, 1867, the first stock ticker is unveiled in New York City. The advent of the ticker made up-to-the-minute prices available to investors around the country. Prior to this development, information from the New York Stock Exchange traveled by mail or messenger.On • Nov. 11, 1918, at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, fighting during World War I ends. At 5 a.m. that morning. Germany -- bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion -- signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside CompiŽgne, France. On • Nov. 9, 1938, in an event, Kristallnacht, that would foreshadow the Holocaust, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jewish people and their homes and businesses in Germany and Austria. The violence left approximately 100 Jews dead, and 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested.On • Nov. 12, 1954, Ellis Island, the gateway to America, shuts it doors after processing more than 12 million immigrants since opening in 1892. Today, an estimated 40 percent of all Americans can trace their roots through Ellis Island, named for merchant Samuel Ellis, who owned the land in the 1770s.On • Nov. 13, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington. The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

I still remember the first time I saw you. Instantly I was in love, yet no words had been spoken. I needed to know everything about you. I wondered, could you actually be the one for me? The first time we talked was such a special day. There was no way I could let you

get away! I was hooked and I’d never felt that way before. My love for you has only grown stronger over the years. When I look into your eyes I get lost in the beautiful woman that is my wife. You and me, hand in hand forever. Nothing can come between us; I will be in your arms until the end of time. I want all of our hopes and dreams to come true as we live happily ever after. You’re so special to me and I wouldn’t change a thing. Our life is an adventure with an ending that is not yet written. I’m your fix-it guy and

you’re my spicy sandwich shop girl.

It was way back in the 19th century that • American statesman Daniel Webster made the following sage observation: “The world is governed more by appear-ances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.”Scary movies like “Jaws” notwithstand-• ing, experts claim that you are 50 times more likely to be killed by a bee than you are to be killed by a shark. All official American flags must be low-• ered and put away at night -- all except one. The flag that was placed on the moon on July 20, 1969, by Neil Arm-strong and Buzz Aldrin (for obvious rea-sons) remains flying at all times.Although almost everyone today thinks • of the dictator Napoleon as being un-usually short, records show that he was actually 5 feet, 6 inches tall, which was the average height for a man in France at that time.Those who study such things say that • the coolest parts of the sun are approxi-mately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the hottest spots can reach a whopping 15 million degrees.The popular pub pastime of darts origi-• nated in the Middle Ages as a training game for archers.Theodore Roosevelt was the first Ameri-• can president to drive an automobile, as well as the first to own one.Although our lives are centered around • (and sometimes seem completely ruled by) the seven-day week, not all cul-tures have demarcated dates that way. Ancient Egyptians once used a 10-day week, and ancient Romans followed a pattern of 8-day weeks.

Thought for the Day: “In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.”

-- John Adams

WEEKLY ANSWERS

The population of the United States was 360 million at the time of writing, but there are 128 million over 60 years of age, leav-ing 242 million to do the work. People un-der 21 total 127 million which leaves 115 million people to do the work. Because of the 63 million government employees, there are only 52 million left to do the work. 12 million in the armed forces leave 40 million workers. Deduct 34 million State, county, and city employees, and we are left with 6 million to do the work. There are 5 million people in hospitals, asylums, and treatment facilities leaving 1 million workers. However, 950,000 of these are bums or others who will not work, leaving 50,000 to do the work. Now, it may interest you to know that there are 49,998 people in jail so that leaves just 2 people to do all the work, and that is you and me, and I’m getting tired of doing ev-erything myself!Two men were boasting to each other about their old army days. “Why, my out-fit was so well drilled,” declared one, “that when they presented arms all you could hear was slap, slap, click.” “Very good,” conceded the other, “but when my com-pany presented arms you’d just hear slap, slap, jingle.” “What was the jingle?” asked the first. “Oh,” replied the other offhand, “just our medals.”Sandy began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl stand-ing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other. Sandy approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said she was. A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, Sandy offered, “Would you like me to be your friend?” The girl hesitated, then said, “Okay,” looking at the woman suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, “Why are you standing here all alone?” “Because,” the little girl said with great exasperation, “I’m the goalie!”Two men got out of their cars after they collided at an intersection. One took a flask from his pocket and said to the other, “Here, maybe you’d like a nip to calm your nerves.” “Thanks,” he said, and took a long pull from the container. “Here, you have one, too,” he added, handing back the whiskey. “Well, I’d rather not,” said the first. “At least not until after the police have been here.”

The story of someone getting a haircut. Women’s version: Woman 1: Oh! You got a haircut! That’s so cute! Woman 2: Do you think so? I wasn’t sure when she gave me the mirror. I mean, you don’t think it’s too fluffy looking? Woman 1: Oh God no! No, it’s perfect. I’d love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I’m pret-ty much stuck with this stuff I think. Wom-an 2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that ex-cept that I was afraid it would accent my long neck. Woman 1: Oh - that’s funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line. Woman 2: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms - see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easi-er. Men’s version: Man 1: Haircut? Man 2: Yeah.Three patients in a mental institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist. If the patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hos-pital. However, if they fail, the institution will detain them for five years. The doctor takes the three patients to the top of a div-ing board looking over an empty swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump. The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms. Then the second pa-tient jumps and breaks both legs. The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump. “Congratulations! You’re a free man. Just tell me why didn’t you jump?” asked the doctor. To which the third patient answered, “Well Doc, I can’t swim!”

Ways To Have More Fun At Work...Each time someone asks you to do • something, ask them to sign a waiver. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don’t • disguise your voice.) Come to work in your pajamas. • Put a picture of your mother on your • business card. Find out where your boss shops and buy • exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.) Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all • day and tell people you’re waiting for your document. Include a piece of your children’s artwork • as a cover page for all reports that you write. (If you don’t have children, draw stick figures yourself.) Agree to organize the company • Christmas party. Hold it at McDonald’s Playland. Charge everyone $15 each. Put your garbage can on your desk. • Label it “IN.” Send email to the rest of the company • telling them what you’re doing. For example “If anyone needs me I’ll be in the bathroom.” Compose all your e-mail in rhyming • couplets. “Hi-lite” your shoes. Tell people that you • haven’t lost your shoes since you did this. Hang mistletoe over your desk. • Bring in food that you tried to cook but • didn’t turn out quite right as special treats for your co-workers. Put up mosquito netting around your •
