Anybody here remember when the United States invaded Iraq ? … I do
It was March 20, 2003 and there is no need now to get into why our nation invaded that country ….
Anybody here remember when the United States began rebuilding Iraq’s destroyed infrastructure ? … I do
It was less than 100 days after we started bombing Iraq that U.S. owned Haliburton and it’s subsidaries were busy restoring it’s bombed and destroyed infrastructure . I remember clearly to this day how boastful we were that the United States had the capability of quickly restoring infrastructure to that decimated area half way around the globe. Five months after being bombed out entire areas of Baghdad were up and running again .
Anybody here remember when Hurricane Ian struck Florida ? ….. I do
It was September 28, 2022 and I was reminded of that terrible day just this morning of May 29, 2024 .
The wife wife and I were asked if we could help an elderly remove and store all the items on the walls of her condominium . Seems the construction crews are finally coming to begin the repairs to her building incurred during that hurricane just under two years ago . Roof repairs started just yesterday and hopefully soon contracters will arrive to tear out the walls and ceilings damaged by water entry to the interior some 21 months past .
The news is lately filled with story’s of recent tornado devastation out west and I wish those poor victims a quicker recovery than many here in Florida . I hope their Governors find better use of their funds than those of the governor of Florida who spends our dollars sending Venezuelans in Texas to Nantucket and drones and body armor to Israel . Or repatriation back to the US for Israeli citizens who used to be Americans a decade or so past ….. while citizens of Florida who voted for him still wait for help 21 months later …..
not so boastful now are we ? ….. nor should we be
Not only do I remember … I don’t forget. And neither should you ….
