R.I.P. Richard condolences to family and friends, thank you for our freedom.
If fishing is a sport are we considered athletes?

A big thank you to your service for this great country of ours Sir..Had the opportunity to sit with my 96 yo great uncle this past fall and listen to his account of landing at Normandy and taking part in freeing france..I was mesmerized by his horrible stories of tragedy and sacrifice he endured..My father said he had never known him to open up like that..I was so proud and had so much respect to call him family as im sure all servicemen and their families do alike..Thank you to all who serve and God bless.
