    Battle of Peleliu — Revisiting a Meat-Grinder of the Pacific War

    My great uncle was with the para troops that went in on the night before D-Day in Europe. He was wounded in St. Mere Egliese. I only found out about it after he had past away and did a family history search. All that time I had known him and not once did he ever even mention being a trooper. He...

    The Story of the 9mm

    I have both the 45 acp and 9mm. My grandson's like shooting both and actually do better with the 45. I just recently purchased my first striker fired pistol, in 9mm. I am now saving up for the Springfield Echelon. I am hoping that they come out with a 45 acp buy the time I have the money saved...

    Independence-Class Aircraft Carriers — America’s Forgotten Warriors

    My dad severed on the USS Roosvelt during the Korean War. He talked about all the ports he visited, but not about anything they did during the actual deployment. We lost dad in 2012 and I miss that man dearly.

    North American B-25 Mitchell — Birth of a Gunship

    My former dentist was a B 25 bomber pilot. He talked about things like the islands and where he had been stationed, but said it was to hard to talk about any of the fighting or battles he had been in. Unfortunately we lost him a couple of years ago, he was definitely a great man.

    Two-Tone Desert FDE M1A Review

    I got my scout squad from KYGUNCO thru the Firstline offer thru Springfield. it's the best way to go if you are a veteran and cut's some of the cost. KYGUNCO also doesn't charge you any tax on the firearm and because I wasa veteran shipping was free. Really good deal if you ask me.

    Springfield XD-M Elite 4.5" Tactical OSP 9mm Review

    I have a problem personally with a belt carry, so I always carry with a shoulder holster. I guess part of that is all my military time I carried with a shoulder holster. Glad I live in the northern states, although it still gets warm.

    Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 Rifle Round-Up

    I was able to purchase it from KYGUNCO. They gave me a really good price, better than I could get locally with a Firstline firearm purchase. I would like to get another firearm, but you are limited to one purchase per year. I will be anticipating 2024.

    Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 Rifle Round-Up

    I just received my order of a M1A Scout/Squad. Nothing against the Socom, I just didn't have the funds for that rifle. My military service allowed me to get one at the firstline costs, Thank You Springfield. I am now on the hunt for ammo for the weapon so I can practice for the up coming deer...

    danged squirrels

    I will agree with Papa on the pigeons, and squirrel meat has a much better flavour than rabbit.

    danged squirrels

    They do make a tasty stew. A little tougher than a rabbit so cook it in a slow cooker with potatoes, carrots, onions, and any other vegetables you like in stews. Par boil the squirrel pieces first and remove the meat from the bones before putting it into the slow cooker.

    danged squirrels

    My mother used to plant marigolds around the garden that usually kept the rabbits and squirrels out. I have never seen a squirrel eat that type of plant material, I would be more inclined to believe it was a rabbit unless you saw it eating the plant. Another option is to spread diatomeaous earth...

    Huey Hogs: The World’s First Helicopter Gunship

    I did my mechanics schooling at Fort Rucker, in 73". My MOS was 67N2F. I can't remember if that 2 i the right number, but I think so. All I know is if my aircraft went on a mission so did I. No questions asked. All I ever got was is this yours, yes sir, ready to fly, yes sir, kick the tires and...

    My Moose Hunt Journey

    That is my dream hunt for sure. Nice article. The meat from a moose is absolutely the best wild game i have ever eaten. Being 67 now I doubt whether I'll ever get the chance to make that hunt a reality.

    Flying the Bell AH-1 Cobra Gunship

    Steve, I am so sorry that your son was KIA. I am glad he was doing what he liked to do and that you got to enjoy and be a part of it. Most parents don't get that opportunity to be a part of their son's career. You not only got to be a part of it you got to see him doing it. Honor him this coming...

    Flying the Bell AH-1 Cobra Gunship

    I was a crew chief and in charge of 5 UH-1H. I loved flying in that Huey. I am not sure how much actual stick time I have but our Company commander and most of the pilots were all Vietnam vets, and they knew what it meant to have their chiefs know how to operate the aircraft in an emergency. My...
