  A Little Bit About Me!
Howards-Place Was Created By Me July 13, 2006
When I Was Seventeen Years Old I Was Heading Nowhere And Was Raised
In A Poor Environment. I Dropped Out Of School In The Tenth Grade To
Work In A Restaurant Washing Dishes To Make Some Money To Buy Clothes,
Because My Mother Could Not Afford To Buy Much, So I Helped Her Out.
My Father Passed Away When I Was Four Years Old, I Didn't Even Get To
Know Him. I Got Mixed Up With The Wrong Kids And My Life Was Heading
For A Disaster. I Felt Lost And Empty Inside With No Place To Go.
I Was Buying A Comic Book In A Place Called The Market House In The
North Side Of Pittsburgh PA. And I Saw A Marine Dressed In Uniform,
He Looked So Tall And Proud! He Really Inspired Me, So I Joined The
Marine Corps! My Life Took A Dramatic Change After That, It Was All Up
Hill' From That Moment On, I Finally Felt Like Somebody!
My First Tour Of Duty After "Boot Camp" Was Naples Italy, I Was a Guard
For The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
During My Tour I Visited Many Different Countries And Being In These
Countries And Seeing How They Live and There Customs.
I Did Not Really Know Until Then How Good we Have It Here In America.
"It Sort Of Raised My Spirits and Made Me Feel Proud To Be An American"
Sure We All Have Our Up's And Downs's In The United States, Some Of Us Are Rich, Some Of Us Are Poor, We Disagree With Each Other On Some Matters
And Even Fight With Each Other Over Some Thing's.
But In The Long Run When It Comes Down To The "Nitty Gritty" All Our
Disagreements, Frustrations And Pain Amongst Ourselves Are Forgotten
And We All Come Together For Who We Are "Americans"

  The Main Reason I Wanted To Build A Website!
I Never Owned A Computer Until One Day I Visited My Grand Daughter
And She Was Making A CD (Music CD) She Was Burning A Disc, At
That Time I Was Really Into Music, And Seeing What You Could Do Made Me
Go Out And Buy One. I Started Downloading Songs Off The Internet, And
Doing So, I Would Receive A Lot Of E-Mail From My Friends!

  And When I Was Reading There E-Mails, I Would See Little Animated
Dogs, Cats, Birds, enc. Running Across The Screen And This Really
Caught My Attention, Even Made Me Laugh. Right There And Then I Said
This Is What I Want To Do, Make Somebody Happy By Making Funny
Animations For There E-Mails. I Am Going To Do My Best!!!
And Hope You Enjoy My Letters And Things That I Make!

  My Goal To You From Howards-Place.Com

"The Marines Prayer"
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails,
make me aware of thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my
best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me
to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee without
shame or fear. Protect my family. Give me the will to do the work of a Marine
and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.
Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance.
Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and the duties my country and
the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those
committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and
let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold. If I am
Inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist;
If I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the
light of truth and grant me the wisdom by which I may understand the
answer to my prayer.
