THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
― Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Special request

.....dad_mc_photo

I am writing to request your help with a very special surprise for my Father, William Martin Law!  He is being recognized and honored, along with other WWII veterans, on May 16th by the Honor Flight Capital Region in Washington DC.  He will be participating in a very special day that involves a tour of the WWII Memorial along with a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and a visit to other notable sites on the National Mall.  As part of the day-long adventure there will be a “mail call” similar to what the veterans experienced during their days of service during WWII  -this is a SURPRISE.
I am writing to ask you to take a quick moment to write a short note, a simple card of thank you so that my Dad will get a bundle of mail during the surprise “mail call”.   This is a very personal and touching way to know that, even after all these years, his service to his country has not been forgotten.
Please be as creative as you like, but send it right away as the cards/letters (no bigger than 8×10) need to arrive at the below address by May 8th (sorry for the late request):
Honor Flight CR Mail Call
c/o L. Robertson
3524 Frostleaf Ct
Fairfax, VA 22033
Please include my Dad’s name –William M Law, on the LOWER LEFT portion of the envelope and include the trip date of 5/16/15.
After WW-2 ended my dad stayed in the Marines and was about to deploy to Korea when his discharge came through.At the time of his discharge he was a Staff Sergeant. I do remember his uniform, 3-up & 1-down and his Purple Heart.

OK, lets get the paper and pencils out and make a old Marine happy. 

Thanks to Kenny
