Good point Rudy! Hey- I got a 48 yr old Uncle in Iraq right now who was sent over there (Army) & carries the gun & armor just like the 20yr olds who is honored to serve... he getting older & I just ask you to pray for him... he has another year yet. His mane is "Sam Mize"... he has a great atittude given the circumstances. He told me in a letter: " I feel Honored to walk on the same ground where Jesus was long ago"... wow. He is carrying 90 to 100lbs of gear too. Says that he hopes to be be back, but no guarantees... said "just know that I love you all & I am proud to serve my country" he tells me he hopes he has a chance to play with my 2 kids (his neice & nephew 6&4yrs). Talk about persective of how good we got right now... brought tears to my eyes thinking if he will see my kids again. I get so damn PISSED when I see Obamas face now it makes me sick thinking of how he visited Iraq reciently & got out of the jet & did not salute or shake the hands of the troops who were there by him.... just got into a bullet proof truck & went to nearest safe building... SOB!!! Anyways, pray for Sam. Thank you all & God bless you. Rigsby.

Yep, lets keeper going. my uncle just got sent to Germany from Iraq to serve as a temporary medical assistant. I guess sometimes they grab a soldier or two to help do medical runs or something. Anyways, my company (Bowtech) just sent a bunch of bows over to Iraq for the soldiers to shoot & have fun with while over there. Many of our bows are named after the Military like the Airborne 101st, 82nd, "the General", Commander, Allegiance, etc.. the soldiers seem to like our bows & we like to name them after our country & people who protect it. I got to have the pleasure of helping a Marine get a bow just the other day... told him thanks for the service. He was headed back for another tour in a month... God bless them all.
