Tuskegee Airman Found

Click link below slideshow

Received the link in an email from a friend.

What are the odds that you would ever find a fighter escort pilot who flew with you on a combat mission?  They are great, but it can happen and did.

This story is about Herb Heilbrun & John Leahr.  One a B-17 pilot, one a red-tail fighter pilot.  If you don’t know what a red-tail fighter pilot  is, you will have to watch this story, a story that began in a small rust belt town with two little boys in the second grade.

Our hat’s are off to both Herb and John.   We thank them for this inspiring story.  Sit back, enlarge the screen and enjoy.

Warning Signs of Stroke

A friend sent me the STR info in an email.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank Goodness for the sense to remember the ’3′ steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A

SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(I.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is

‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

.

.Here is another way to say almost the same thing.  Both are good

.

.This is great info that may save the life of a loved one.
