Just started hittting gun/shooting sites! Dunno why it took so long, 'cept I don't get along well with 'puters!
The old (now defunct?) Gun Zone had a 9/11 tribute with a thread "Let's Roll!" It had the story of Todd Beamer and the Air Force nose art. I printed off the artwork but spilled something on it. Anybody know where I can find it now?
GOA-Gun owners of America?
TFL- The Firing Line?
Are those sites?
And what the heck is Molon labe??????????? What language, while you're at it!
Thanks.
Bob

Hi, and welcome to The High Road! I hope you enjoy it here.

Molon Labe (pronounced Malone La Veigh) means "come and get them". Here's a link on the subject. http://www.thefiringline.com/HCI/molon_labe.htm

For what it's worth, you may not be able to find the "Let's Roll" artwork you had before. Some suitably nasty term inappropriate for THR of a suitably nasty term inappropriate for THR trademarked the phrase before Todd Beamer's ashes were even cold. He's since been tracking down everyone using it commercially that he can (other than the Beamer family) and sending "cease and desist" letters. Seems he didn't want the Tshirt competition.

By the way.. welcome to THR! Glad to have you!

Welcome Bob. You will enjoy it here, lots of fun. :D

I wonder if the trademark has been legally challenged yet? I can think of a whole lot of folks who used that phrase long before 9/11 else how could Todd have learned it?

Welcome to THR!:)

Molon labe=Come and get them, one of the Spartan kings' response to the Persian request to surrender and join him.

Molon latte=come with El Tejon and have a grande non-fat vanilla latte.:cool:

Molson Labe = Canadian for Come & Take 'Em.

suitably nasty term inappropriate for THR

Is this the THR 4-letter word filter? :confused: Who trademarked it?

I think "Let's Roll !" has been in use since the second wheel was built.

Often heard right after the bugler plays reville in the morning.

Along with a lot of other stuff.
