The cockles of my heart are wet from the tears of joy.

That, my friends, is a man.  And he raised his son to be one, too.

Bless them both.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

If I were him I'd die a happy man.  For getting to have that experience, and especially for having sons that were good men that made it possible.

That softy, with his fancy reclining chair? In my day, when you got too old, they dropped you off at the nearest ice floe to perish. We didn't have no comfortable chairs back then, I tell you!

I hunted deer with my FIL's crew.  One of 'em could hardly move around due to multiple things wrong with him.  I was in my 30's and they were in their 60's.  The last year he hunted, (he died a couple months after the season) we'd sit him in a camp chair on his stand and zipped him up in a sleeping bag we modified so he could stay toasty warm but still shoot.  He told us that if he died while we were in camp we were to put him in his sleeping bag and put him outside under the picnic table.  He said it was cold enough so he'd keep till camp was over because he didn't want us to come home early on account of him.

RIP Denny Walter
