    Story of the Flying Tigers

    You are correct in your answer the Walt Disney Company was responsible for the design. I also still have my copy of the Landmark book. I remember it because I did a book report about it. Grumpy - That scarf looks amazing.

    Review: New Emissary All-Black 1911 Pistols

    That is the pistol I really want, the Echelon. I am hoping by the time I have enough coin saved up for one, that they will have come out in 45acp. Don't get me wrong 9mm is okay, I am just kinda partial to that big old fat cartridge.

Mr. Scott had indicated that he felt that the U.S. government and the Soviets worked together covertly to get rid...

    My "Hamburger Hill" War Trophy

    one of the ingredients is TCDD or maybe its TCCD I cannot remember for sure, but this is the most powerful of the chemical dioxins and it was used in the mixture, along with other chemicals. Back then they didn't use chemical suits, or PPE when dispensing the chemical. You were lucky if you had...

    I did not try to watch the video, I just read the attached article. This will be my next firearm purchase for 2024. Not so much because of the optics choices, I am more of an open sight shooter. I just really like the character of this pistol.

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...
