Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Thank You! (A Salute to the Brave men of D-Day)
To every one that has served and is currently serving, THANK YOU! Today is a day that enforces how much this countrys Vets have sacrificed not only for the USA but the entire world as well. D-Day was 70 years ago but its effects will never be forgotten.
Amen. And pretty cool, a 93 year old veteran is jumping again. 70 years later and he still can do it, tell me again about something you "can't" do.

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
My favorite military leader ever, General George S. Patton, sure had a way with words:
"There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana." ― General George S Patton, June 5, 1944.

A D-Day veteran who was reported missing from a care home has been found in Normandy after travelling to France to mark the invasion's 70th anniversary.
Bernard Jordan, 89, a former mayor of Hove, sneaked out of The Pines nursing home in Furze Hill yesterday after being told by staff he could not make the trip to Normandy.
Donning his war medals under a raincoat, the Royal Navy veteran joined his former comrades on a coach, before arriving at a hotel in Ouistreham, northwestern France, 12 hours later.
Cheers to the greatest generation of men and women ever.
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.
