I'd like a shot at this one, please.
I've wanted a legion since they come out, but never cared for the long extractor look.

As always, take care and be safe!

I just want to say when you appreciate, you really appreciate. May this karma of yours along with your past karmas of which I've been a recipient return to you a thousand fold.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Sir - thank you for your very generous karma offer to us all, I am honored to be part of this group under consideration.

Uncle Bill was a WWII vet - Mom said Grandma made him go to the photo studio to have this portrait taken while home on leave after the Aleutian campaign early in the war.



Dad was a Korea/Vietnam era vet. The lieutenants took turns taking care of Spike, the squadron mascot.



I spent my formative years “in the feedbag” of Phantoms and Aardvarks before wising up and switching to a plane with more legroom.



Only witnessed the Missing Man formation once, it was very moving. A salute to those who are no longer with us.



Take care and God bless.

I didn't serve so I shouldn't be considered,
but my thanks to everyone who did.
My Father was a WWII vet, 12th Armored Division. Been gone three years now.

I’d like a chance, thanks!

My maternal grandfather served in Korea with the Air Force. He never did talk much about his service time. He passed in 2010. Never got to see the Cubs win a World Series.

Very cool, count me in. My Dad served during Vietnam in the mid-sixties (I wasn’t around quite yet). Several Great Uncles in WWII. I do participate (EMS Services) in Honor Flight taking Vets to DC to visit the memorials. Such a wonderful organization. I always look forward to the spring and fall trips.

Q, please add me to this generous karma. If I am to win, my sister will receive a very nice SIG.

My sister was in the National Guard. When she was deployed to Iraq, we shipped her unit a huge box of goodies, from candy and jerky, to bug spray, off, soap, etc., all the things you miss from home. In return, they were cool enough to send us a flag and a certificate of when and where it was flown.
She’s the lady on the left with the sunglasses in the photo. She took a photo with her usual helicopter crew, and the flag was flown by a different crew. Either way, I think it’s pretty awesome.

Are you aware of exactly what unit your Uncle Bill was in? That's the 1st Special Service Force.

Thank you for telling us about the 1st Special Service Force. I had not heard of them, and I was very intrigued by what I read. I know Wikipedia is mediocre, but I did enjoy reading the article. Here is a link for anyone else who wants to read of some badassery. Old Vark, your uncle was a true badass.

Was your uncle Bill an outdoorsman by any chance? A hunter\trapper\guide, or some other kind of wilderness guy? Those were the types that the Army recruited into the 1st SSF. Your uncle was a very rare breed, even among the rest of the greatest generation.
