It's all good, lol
One of the biggest misconceptions gun owners say is that the AR-15 has never been an assault rifle. I have said for 30 yrs, too bad Mr Stoner did not have the authority at Armalite to name the rifle after himself. An ES-15 designation would may have made shit less easy for anti's.

You mean the Extermination System - 15? Oh No! :oops::oops::)
 
General Colin Powell and Taps - from the 202 National Memorial Day Concert...


I had to march in Clinton’s first inaugural parade, when our formation got in front of the reviewing stand the USCG Commandant barely glanced at us and chatted away with WJC, Gen Powell was the ONLY one that stood up, rendered a salute and held that salute until our entire formation had passed. Character, true character.
 
I bought a case of these on Ebay. They are still in the clear wrappers with the NSN printed on them. They were shipped to me from Bosnia.

I was on the advance team for AC130s during Operation Just Cause. After we landed and broke open out the weapons, there were a bunch in the bottom of the container. I don't think anyone else knew what they were s I grabbed them all. The M16s had been updated, but still had triangle handguards and 3-prong flash suppressors.

A long story about this man. (My cousin.) I found a Purple Heart, insignia, Lt bars and some photos of him and a woman in some of my uncles stuff after he had died. I did some research and found his widow. I located and met with his widow who was in her 90's and gave her the photos and she told me to keep the Purple Heart. He was shot down over Holland. Out of the crew only 3 survived. I put together this frame in his honor.

My father in law WWII in the pacific, he would cry at Christmas for the men he killed. I would not ask about any of it. 😢
Just to add: he brought home a Japanese bayonet, I have it locked up in my safe, bamboo scabbard. He had the rifle, but shore patrol, maybe M.P.'s told him to toss it off the pier before he boarded the ship to return to the states. He had the bayonet in a duffel bag. (y)

Some more bits of history from my dad’s Photo Recon squadron from WW2. He was in 8th and designed this logo for his group. Courage came in large doses in this action-my salute to them, those before and those who’ve followed.
