[Milsurplus] D-Day Museum Looted

[Rev. Don Sanders]

It is also a good time to scan or duplicate all important papers,
birthcertificates, insurance papers, etc. and copy the scanned imagers on to
a CD or 2 and have them available at a relative or other "safe" location as
well as in the emergency stock travel kit. You need to have a plan so if
necessary you can grab info and what is necessary in a few minutes and be
ready to move out. Many of those relocated by the hurricane have lost all
identification, and legal, important papers due to a lack of prior planning.
Good to remember the old addage of the 7 "P's":
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pi_ _ Poor Performance.

Healthfully yours,
                          DON W4BWS
