Can anyone confirm this? Are you shitting me? YOU were there?

I WANT to believe you. So I will say thank you. And tip o' the cap to you sir for being your age and on a message board.

My father was in the Army as a paratrooper and fought all over the Phillipines and the South Pacific and had several gunshot wounds to show for it. He passed away last year at 87 but he read this message board for a few years. I always thought that was funny talking to him and he'd mention some dipshit thread from the OT.

I'm typing this with his Colt 45 in my lap that he carried his whole career oversees. I can smell him on the gun.
