Veteran's Day

To all veterans of the US military services. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice and that of your families as well. Though we are far from perfect, we are still without question the Greatest Nation on Earth as a result of your efforts. As one veteran to another, I say THANK YOU and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Randy

Thank you Vets and Welcome home.

in regards to your sig line:

Shot lots of rounds out of an M1 Still do. I never got an M1 thumb. I learned the correct method up front and had the lesson reenforced by the knothead next to me that wouldn't listen. After all he was an expert shot and knew all there was to know about firearms,yea right.

Yes sir, that came directly from the instruction manual, and I got a laugh out of it when I read it for the first time, thinking, what does someone do now if the thought of having their thumb crushed was just too much!!!

Again, thank you all [vets]...
