Dad turns 90 today March 23rd. Having spent his 19th birthday in Europe in a halftrack in the 9th armored division, has led a wonderful and important life.
Die hard NRA member, not fooled by the current politics, despises that the rule of law has not been followed by the DOJ and criminals are not only running free but running our country.

Happy Birthday to your dad and many thanks for his service. Be fortunate to have him as I lost both my parents in their mid 60's before I was even 40.

Happy belated Birthday!

Tell your dad when he was in his halftrack, I was in diapers at Fort Benning. My dad was in a field hospital somewhere in France. God Bless them both.

That is so cool he still shoots, I just love it when the old boys get after it.
My Dad, Korean vet, passed away at 80 a couple springs ago but his last summer I took him out for one more shooting hoorah. Had my grandson, his great grandson, with me. Propped him up in a chair and helped him hold the guns and let him blast away. Made for some cool pics. He could only stand for a few minutes at a time so I had him stand up and I put a .44 mag Dirty Harry S-W in his hand and said, "Hold this up and aim with one hand and I'll take your pic but whatever you do DON'T pull the trigger till I come back to help you". I think the old boy really wanted to try and shoot it one handed! Ha! It would have looked like a Willey coyote episode, him flying backward at mach 1!

My love for guns and the outdoors came straight from him.

Happy B-day to your Dad, tell him thanks for his military service and enjoy every minute with him.
