"Tragic" is putting it mildly.

Life is full of sucks.  Sometimes it's all that keeps us from spinning off into space.  Finding a way to carry on is hard - harder than just about anything else but especially harder than giving up and giving in.

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.

Survivor's guilt is a very real thing. Especially when you don't expect to live through something, and you do.

That's about all I can say about that at the moment.

Wow is right.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!
