no longer. A old friend sent me a message, do the old guys in our club agree?

OLD PERSON PRIDE

I'm passing this on because I did not want to be the only old person
receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.

1. Old People are easy to spot at sporting events; during the
playing of the National Anthem. Old People remove their caps and stand
attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in
them.

2. Old People remember World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal,
Normandy and Hitler.

3. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the
Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peace-keeping
Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam.

4. If you bump into an Old Person on the sidewalk he will apologize.
If you pass an Old Person on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a
lady. Old People trust strangers and are courtly to women.

5. Old People hold the door for the next person and always, when
walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.

6. Old People get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women
and children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in
movies.

7. Old People have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom
brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.

8. It's Old People who remove their hats while eating in a
restaurant in respect for the ladies and guests.

9. It's the Old People who know our great country is protected, not
by politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving their
country.

10. This country needs Old People with their work ethic, sense of
responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.

We need them now more than ever. Thank God for Old People.

Pass this on to all the "Old People" you know.

I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find
them.
