Happy July 4th to our US members

we must remember the saying(freedom is not free), we have been called to defend this great country for time to time in wars and so called police actions(not by thoses who fought in them). even when you didn,t believe in your countries desions, you stepped up and went like our forefather from our founding war to the wars today. a friend and i on R&R.

I was just looking outside at a quiet moment before all the family and festivities start and happened to see this ….. Thought you might enjoy a bit of nature's promise amid all this corona crap we are dealing with.

We've all heard "don't poke mama bear" but I don't think I would poke mama doe either...

Thus is for all you husbands out there, the "What did I DO??" moment...

Happy Independence Day!
 
Is this a great country or what?

 
To celebrate the 4th, the wife and I hit the hay fields for a little groundhog action. The Annie was on the money out to that fat one at 134 yards.

Awesome hogpatrol! As soon as we get all the hay cut off the fields I'm doing the same thing lol but I'm not a good enough shot to try with a pistol
 
Thank you Von Gruff! We are privileged as Americans to have had so many forefathers willing to stand for the freedoms we enjoy today!
Happy independence day gentlemen!!!!
 
Happy Independence Day!

Cheers to those on the Brit side who can still put up with us colonialist and a toast to all vets everywhere: least we never forget: to those who have served, that all gave some, to those that gave all.
 
Von Gruff, while serving in the U.S Air Force , 58 years ago on the 4th of July I met my better half on a blind date. I'd have to say that the fireworks over the years have been spectacular.
