Good evening, NautiNurse...he sure was dedicated to the protection of our country.

"I have taken a vow that our military will never be disrepected again. To those who post snide remarks about those in the military who served with Honor, including Male or Female, active duty, or Male or Female Vets....BE WARNED: I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ON MY WATCH!"

And he took no prisoners.

Yes we do. But Tonk was the Father around here..
A crusty old salt with a soft spot for The Lady’s, Dawgs, Fires and an easy smile.
