Thanks for photo. He looks lethal.
Notice both hunting knife on belt and bayonet on boots. His pockets bulging, maybe ammo. Carring a M1 and a Bazooka.
This was not the movies.
I’d have followed him.
We are loosing them every day a 100 or so make that last march, stand the last watch, listen to their last tattoo and we are that much poorer for it. The really sad thing is so few in the lastest generations know of those warrior’s great sacrifices and even fewer would care even if they did know. I sometimes think that stepping off a landing barge and immediately drowning off Omaha Beach would be a better fate for many of us then what the coming “Peace at any price” and “It’s all America’s fault crowd” is about to bring to us.
But thank God that my work with ‘AnySoldier’ has shown me that there are still men and women of that generations caliber still around, though they don’t carry a M1 and a Bazooka, but an M16 grenader and a AT4, they still have the bayonet, but instead of a regular hunting knife they have a Ka-bar, and lastly they have the gear to call in hell from above on top of their enemy. God bless thefighting men and women of the United States Armed Forces!
May your sword be sharp and your arm strong.
May your eyes be keen and your arrows flight true.
May your lance never break and your body endure.
May you knife be ever at hand in need and your mind ever viglent and alert as to of your enemy’s intent.
And I pray that God would watch over you and keep you, so that you may return home in valor, to enjoy that which you have fought to defend,and there live out your life in peace and prosperity until the end of your days.
