Tragedy
The way the article reads, it was not the truck drivers fault...
That's a shame.![]()

Prayers out to Jim's family and friends, he will be missed.
When I graduated from the academy about 15 years ago, my father cut out something for me from a magazine. It was an "Officer Safety" type article on gunfights. Since then, I'd periodically come across more articles by that same author, Jim Cirillo. While I'd just glance over items by other authors, I would always stop and read what he wrote. He was truly a law enforcement legend.
He will be missed.
"The 1911 was the design given by God to us through John M. Browning that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911 and is true now."—Colonel Robert J. Coates, USMC
As the good Colonel would have said if he were still with us, "We are diminished."
They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war...even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.
