	Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf dies By CNN Staff Thu December 27, 2012 (CNN) -- Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded coalition forces during the Gulf War, died Thursday, a U.S. official said. He was 78. After Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Schwarzkopf directed 700,000 coalition troops that engaged in a six-week air assault of Iraqi forces in January 1991. That was followed by a swift ground campaign that pushed Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait. Former President George H.W. Bush, who is hospitalized, said the general was a "true American patriot and one of the great military leaders of his generation." Schwarzkopf went to the U.S. Military Academy and graduated in 1956, according to Britannica Online. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army. The officer served two tours of duty in Vietnam. In 1988, Schwarzkopf was appointed commander of U.S. Central Command. Schwarzkopf made a reputation as a plain-spoken commander when he gave media briefings during Operation Desert Storm. He came to be known as "Stormin' Norman." He retired in August 1991 and wrote an autobiography entitled "It Doesn't Take a Hero." The general also hit the lecture circuit and was a military analyst for NBC.

	How many of you remember this song?? I heard it on my car radio a couple of days ago. Can't remember the last time I had heard it but it has been a long time, that much I do know so here is Sammy Davis Jr and the Mills brothers singing Glow Worm. :) The Mills Brothers Glow Worm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daIMI5Jv3JU

	A friend sent this to me a few days ago and I thought some of you might enjoy it and maybe some of you have already seen it but it sure put a smile on face. I would love to go for a spin in it. :) The Radio Flyer - Little Red Wagon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlSIbSxFYVE

	Hi Evelyn, I got this in e-mail today. I wonder how many people know this! A Must Watch - Tom Hanks Father - Very Cool This is so great. I didn't know Tom Hanks father was the lead singer of the Diamonds. This will put a smile on your face. Tom Hanks Father: If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, "The Diamonds",who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin'. For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or trash the set. In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City... This link leads to both performances. Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later. Tom Hanks father is much better looking than Tom, and even better looking with age. In the linked videos Tom Hank's father is the lead singer on the left. He still has it! Hope you enjoy. ..http://www.flixxy.com/the-diamonds-little-darlin-1957-2004..htm..... (He's the guy on the left with the high-pitched voice)
