I’d be a mite nervous if I were the guy on the right in the front row.

Even though the hammer is down on the nipple, and there likely isn’t a cap on it ….. I’d still be nervous

^^^^^ That's great Rusty!

Here's my favorite veteran -- my 92-year-old Dad (sadly with Alzheimer's now) wearing his roommate's Navy hat (Dad usually has his Army / Korean War veteran's hat).

Dad (on the right) with his younger brother.

Thanks to all who have served and continue to serve!

To all who served!

And in rememberence of my 1st cousin.

Thanks for sharing, Rusty. I worked with a couple of guys who attended one of the last shooting schools he hosted. Despite his physical limitations at the time, they both said the shooting education was great but the opportunity to spend time with him is what made the school so special

Thank you!
Yes Sir... his father and my father were brothers. Carlos was older than me but I remember after he was burnt, he came and stayed with us for awhile. I also remember many a christmas at our grandmothers house.... maybe till the mid 70s when he found he had MS.
I remember the grown folk talking [at the Christmas he did not come home]... that Carlos had caught something in his time in the jungle.
We later found out what it was.

This is my father [the youngest brother{my father was in Korea}] and my Uncle Norman {Carlos father} WWII.

Thanks Rusty it’s always a treat to know more about people you honor and respect.
Humanity is illusive when looking at heroes and famous people and to hear personal details brings them a little closer and makes them more real.
Thank you again for sharing some of that about White Feather the man.
