Got it. God speed young man.

His parents must be destroyed right now. Hopefully they can see their son with the most respect and honor we do right now.

“Man hath no greater love, than to lay down his life for his friends.”

I have had some heavy stuff as of late, loss of 2 men I have looked up to and reminders often and 2 others with stage 4 CA dx 3 months apart.
Has caused me to be very reflective of how momma, my kids, family, and closest friends will remember me.

The above quote was the headline of a friend’s funeral program. He made sure the brunt of the crash went to him, hoping to save the others. Then one who survived without injury, risked everything to save the very man who just saved him.

These are the men we must admire and teach our children about. These two happened to be friends of mine. There are many more every day who do awesome things such as this.

Again, God speed young man. May the reward of your selflessness be one of love, kindness, and peace.

There was a single track freight rail line running through a valley near our base many years ago. Flying a Huey down the valley towards an approaching train at night then turning on the searchlight results in an impressive display of sparks.......

A few guys driving down a "road" in a very sandy place had that happen to them....only with a C130.....talk about getting woke up.

You want to know what is even more disturbing? She is probably registered to vote and has a driver's license.

Your worst nightmare: You see this girl on this video and the next evening, your son brings her home to introduce her to the family.

Even worse nightmare: You show your son the video and he says, "Sure dad, I know all about it. It's not a problem."

So do you have her number? Again asking for a friend.
 
If that's one of them Down Under snakes even that steel bucket isn't far enough away from me.
About 50 years ago when I was still going to school my main source of income was catching snakes and supplying them to Commonwealth Serum Laboratories to make anti-venene, over a few years I developed a natural immunity to the most common snakes. My mother eventually shut me down when she discovered the Anschutz .22 and the 12g shotgun that I had bought with the proceeds. Not too long after that I joined the military, a chapter of my life that lasted almost 27 years.
