Words to live by:

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Beware the man with only one gun… he probably knows how to use it.

There may be a few eager to criticize, there are some who wish they could have served, and there are many who will be forever grateful."

Wow brother, just wow!
