    A damned positive experience!

    What blew me away was their optimism! One would think how depressed loosing BOTH legs would be, but these guys were just smiling and joking to each other as if they were brothers heading out on a sunny weekend excursion to the neighborhood park! An admirable bunch who gave me a memory I will cherish.

    I really have thank them for showing me how to act in the face of true adversity. The one thing this young Specialist said that struck a chord with me was this: "I was having a bad day until just now, thank you for making my day". Words cannot express how absolutely honored I felt when he said that. All I could say was thank you, you are the epitome of a hero to me.

    IT WAS AN HONOR THAT THESE MEN FIRED MY AR's, I CAN NEVER EVER SELL THEM NOW.

    He pulled out a P220 which I shot with great envy ( I have to buy one now). I remember the "noisy cricket" a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 that had a trigger pull a mile long. Life is good.

    Combatvet,

    Thank you for treating those soldiers to a good day at the range. I wish I could have been there to donate a rifle and some rounds to the cause.

    God bless you,

    Jay

    Good man.

    These are the type of guys who, if given the chance, would go RIGHT back over there to fight alongside their buddies.


    Where do we find such men indeed.

    Semper fi!
