I'm old school. I bring her in at night even if lit. Remember when they'd play "To the Colors" at dusk. Everybody would stop what they were doin' and salute. Hell, traffic stopped.
My wife remembers her father stopping the car, and he, her mom and all 4 kids would pile out to pay respects.
Oh yeah, those were the rules. PS McNair?
Yeah, and elsewhere...Since he was the cheese at McNair, he likely was still working most of the time anyway...
.... but he was an officer.
Stopped at the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial tonight on the way home from the game to pay our respects. We'd never been before. It is genius, and well worth a visit if you have not been...
I like the design. Power through understatement is a big plus, especially for something like this.
Went to a firing range yesterday to observe a buddy shoot his AR-15. What an odd experience that was. Haven't fired a weapon since late 1971. BTW Begged off his offer to fire it.
Going next Saturday to fire the same weapon. But I think I might try it.
I already have.
I have never fired a weapon. Other than air powered guns.
As a light infantry guy, I fired all the stuff back in the day ... M16, LAW, M79, 50 cal, .45, etc. I told my buddy I'm afraid I'd empty his clip (20 rounds) in like 10 seconds.
Thanks for your service. I fired all of those as well in basic and rotc advanced training but mostly just the m-16 a1 and a2.
Where did you go? Was it indoors or outdoors?
A place called Silver Eagle in Ashburn, VA (indoor).
Just google'd it...the range itself looks similar to the NRA Range in Fairfax.
