Thank You

[Catpop]

Thank you to all the veterans who have served this great nation to preserve the American citizens and their blessed way of life.
Some gave all, but all gave some in their personal sacrifice to preserve our freedom.
I personally salute each and everyone of you.
I know of no other nation that allows its citizens the freedom of owning firearms that I so enjoy today in the USA. Not just owning, but hunting, recreation shooting, reloading, collecting, self defense and so many more!
Remember only 2 people have ever spilled their blood to save your life- the American GI and Jesus Christ.
I salute one, but l can only humbly bow to the other.
Thank you veterans and may God Bless America!

God bless them all and their families too.

Especially the ones that reload and handload.

It was my stint in the Army that got me kick started in pursuing shooting USPSA and reloading as a hobby. Many of my match shooting and reloading (for match loads) mentors were ex-servicemen who were generous with sharing of their knowledge and guidance.

I can still hear the barking of the armory Sergeant who wanted the new 1911s out of the box to cycle smoothly (And boy they were ROUGH) so they would function reliably for our officers at the range. Ahhhh, happy memories.

I was blessed with 8 years of peacetime while I was in the Navy.

I salute those who served during war.

I blame the Navy for my obsession with pistol shooting. I could barely hit the ocean from the fantail the first time I shot the 1911. Bothered me to the point that handgun shooting for accuracy is now my primary hobby.
