Ultimo-Hombre Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Laid a brother fireman to rest today. His death was tragic. I am the bass drummer for our firefighters pipe and drums corps. As we played amazing grace and the solo piper walked away, a deer walked from the river brush and passed between the Engine and RA we had as a backdrop to the service. My friends, I say this... Live with Honor... Perhaps this has a different meaning to each of us, To me it means, choose the hard road. When no one is looking, when you don't have to, do the last rep, squat lower, pay attention, make devotion a habit in all you do. God bless, and don't be safe... Be smart, decisive...fight to win.

Bless you for sharing this.Pride is dumb.All that matters are results. Thank you for your kind words. Attention to detail.... I find it interesting that a foundation in practical shooting, is a foundation of what gets results. Live with honor my friends....
