Rest In Peace Gunny. You deserve it.

"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway" John Wayne. While I know is it a quote from an actor/movie it has always made sense to me. Growing up in a military family, surrounded by Troopers that have been in the line of fire and listening to my Dad recall (when he would) times of sheer terror....I am convinced that courage/fortitude/gallantry/heroism is both a mind set and a choice. One must choose to rush into automatic weapons fire to pull a buddy to safety knowing what a bullet could do to your own body. One must choose to go into a building when other lives are at stake. Yes many choose to run but others choose not to. Military, EMS, Fire and Police have chosen those professions for various reasons and suffer the benefits of those choices. The lowering of standards has contributed to the inclusion of those best suited to drive a desk or other support roles, supplanting the ones naturally gifted/trained/driven to do the job that needs done. Quotas, political correctness, and liberalism have diluted the idea of courage and bravery in segments of our society. I miss my country....... Rough men stand ready.....

circa late 1950's ........my Dad is at the base of the Pershing missile carriage in the background......just to the right of the Zeus...not sure where this was taken, but its not Ft.Bliss or White Sands! I still have the propeller to the first drone he ever shot down.

One less candle in the darkness, one less voice crying out, one less beacon in the storm. He was not perfect but his Lord is and Billy spent a lifetime pointing others to Him. Billy Graham did what he knew what he had to do and said what he had to say....... worldwide. God put His message in an earthen pot with cracks and flaws in it and reached millions upon millions of people through an ordinary man. So I have a question, that I ask myself, how bright is your candle?

Oh boy..... that fee is gonna be astronomical!

My work has me moving around so a P O Box works best for me but I have a physical address to send stuff to.....just not very secure. I really like the site and the gear offered so my TGO clothing budget is still on track. Hats, a jacket and some t-shirts. I have been waiting for this for quite some time and want to thank ALL involved with bringing it to fruition.

The site looks like its up and running....tried to order some gear but they don't ship to P.O. Boxes.....

But no BANG for your buck! No thanks.........

Excellent looking blades! Might have to volunteer your work to Forged in Fire.... you are a Bladesmith for sure.

It's so cold here I tripped over a pile of dog poo.

THAT is a piss poor advertisement......eewwww

Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy, prosperous New Year at all my TGO kindred!

I have diversity of calibers and I include my knives when camping...... good enuf for me...

My fellowship meets in various members homes.....like in the beginning when we were, collectively, called followers of the Way....(Book of Acts)...I get to know others better and how to pray for them....we protect each other and its not a small group either. With all the stuff happening nowadays, I believe it would be beneficial for the followers of Christ to abandon the large buildings we call the church and meet together in our homes so we can be the church. True persecution is coming brothers....Yeshua was persecuted and promised the same for us.

Ohhhkkkay..... I read the article.....sounds like an opinion from someone the Army, clearly, didn't issue one to......... genderqueer...what is this country and my Army coming to.

Just wait until you post on ArmsList.........idjits come out of the woodwork.

Its a shell deflector for an SKS.....looks to be....you are correct about the other one, front sight tool for an AK or an SKS.

As will all Antifa Snowflakes........

Remember, remember the 4th of November The Antifa treason and plot I see no reason in their antics this season So it would be all for naught

I used to get real Cohibas, when I lived in Florida, from a Cuban buddy of mine......they were most excellent with cognac.....those days and that money are long gone.

sarcasm off now.....

Will the rental of trucks now be viewed as a suspicious activity? Why do city folk need trucks? Can't they just Coexist?

Amen to that!

I wonder how long it will be before the Feds tell us it was not what it is.... an act of terrorism by a terrorist yelling Aloha Snackbar....enemies foreign and domestic.

They still pop when stomped.....glad the chickens had a meal .
