"God bears with imperfect beings....even when they resist his goodness. We ought to imitate this merciful patience and endurance. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people." (Francois de Fenelon)

September 10, 1919 - - Following the defeat of Germany in World I, the victorious Allies signed the Treaty of Saint-Germain ceding parts of pre-war German-Austria to Italy and Czechoslovakia. Austria was also forbidden to unite with Germany.
September 11, 2001 - - The worst terrorist attack in U.S. History occurred as four large passenger jets were hijacked then crashed, killing nearly 3,000 persons. Four separate teams of Mideast terrorists, operating from inside the U.S., boarded the morning flights posing as passengers, then forcibly commandeered the aircraft. Two fully-fueled jumbo jets, American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 people and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 people, had departed Boston for Los Angeles. Both jets were diverted by the hijackers to New York City where they were piloted into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The impact and subsequent fire caused both 110 story towers to collapse, killing 2,752 persons including hundreds of rescue workers and people employed in the towers. In addition, United Airlines Flight 93, which had departed Newark for San Francisco and American Airlines Flight 77, which had departed Dulles (Virginia) for Los Angeles, were hijacked. Flight 77 with 64 people on board was diverted to Washington, D.C., then piloted into the Pentagon building, killing everyone on board and 125 military personnel inside the building. Flight 93 with 44 people on board was also diverted toward Washington but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to overpower the terrorists on board.
September 12, 1943 - - Former Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini was rescued by German paratroopers on orders from Adolf Hitler. Mussolini was being held prisoner by Italian authorities following the collapse of his Fascist regime.
Have You Ever Heard the Phrase, "Beside the Mark"
"This is very old. In fact it is so old that, in the original Greek, it had passed from a proverbial phrase into a single word which expressed its figurative sense. That is, in the old Athenian contests, an archer who failed to hit the mark was said to be out of the list or course; hence, beside the mark. The same thing, though in English, was said of the English bowman - - sometimes by variation, 'far from the mark,' 'wide of the mark,' 'short of the mark,' to miss the mark.' The Greek single word, which may be represented by roman type as exagonion, had the figurative meaning, 'irrelevant; not pertinent,' precisely the meaning we give to the English phrase.
Alabama
"Alabama has two popular nicknames. The first one is the Cotton State because Alabama is a big cotton producing area. The second one is the Yellowhammer State. This became a nickname during the Civil War because the gray uniforms of the Confederate soldiers had a yellowish tinge since they were hand-dyed."
Rifle, Colorado
"Rifle was named by a land surveyor who, with his assistant, was sketching the land deep in the Grand Hog Back Range. They realized that they forgot their rifle which their only means of protection against wild animals and the fierce Indians of the area. The surveyor sent his assistant with a rough sketch of the spot where he remembered leaving his rifle propped against a tree by a creek. Because of this map, he chose the name Rifle.
Know Your Presidents!....John Tyler
"John Tyler is known as the Accidental President because he took over as president when William Henry Harrison died on April 4, 1841"
""The inmate was aware that all prison mail passes through censors. When he got a letter from his wife asking about the family garden - - 'Honey, when do I plant potatoes?'----he wrote back, 'Do not under any circumstances, dig up our old garden spot. That's where I buried all my guns.'
Within days his wife wrote back, 'Six investigators came to the house. They dug up ever square inch of the back yard'. By return mail she got his answer; 'Now is the time to plant potatoes.'"

Here's Some more 'Myth Information"
"The log cabin was not an original American creation nor was it first used in the frontier West.
Originating in Sweden, the log cabin was brought to America by Swedish settlers in Delaware in 1638. Neither the Dutch at New Amsterdam nor the Pilgrims utilized this type of dwelling.
The log cabin remained in the Delaware Valley until it became popular during the Revolutionary War when it spread south and west. With the expansion and settling of the western lands beyond the tidewater, the log cabin proved to be ideally suited for frontier America. It could be built by only one man with nothing more than an axe, and provided good protection against the weather and attack. Although perfectly suited to the American wilderness, it was, nevertheless, a European import."
