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.

Have not seen these before . Very good example of a grenade launching '03 on the line. His grenade bag is just peeking out from behind him.
Thanks , Chris
PS Stricker's back and no gernade on the tube , he's firing ball ammo now.

Thing I was looking at Chris was the Fairburn-Sykes type knife on the near man's hip. Maybe one of those raider knives? The ones 1SSF got? All blackened? A bit odd in this case.

Thank you for posting that picture. A great uncle of mine served in both the 1st Rangers and later the 4th Rangers before he was finally sent home severely wounded. He was also originally from Iowa.
