“Its the only American war I would sign up for at this point.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Better men than I died so that I could live free. It may be time to pay that debt. My peacetime hitch in the USAF doesn’t seem to quite cover.

I’m damn near 70 with a bum knee but my trigger finger still works.

Now if you can just hold off for my cataract eye surgery. (I thought all my scopes went blurry at the same time.)

God bless you. Us old guys can still shoot. I feel the same as you. I have had a blessed and peaceful life for 69 years. I owe those whose lives were not fully lived who gave me that life.
