He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Thanks Mark, I now see the teen with the M1 and helmet. The soldier to his right must have let him carry them for a kick. So at least he still had some humor, and thanks for the pic of the ammo bag.....Frank
