    July 4th more than a day off

    July 4th to me is more than commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
    I think of those that fought for this freedom, be it here or in far away lands.
    From a endless list here are two:
    Lt. Gen Hal Moore, Who when asked before enemy contact in Vietnam- What else do you hope to accomplish?
    Moore replies "We hope to clear out this entire valley,get the VC's out of here and let the people come back and live a normal life"

    Then asked- Do you think you may run across the enemies main force that was in here ?
    Moore replied: "We hope so, so I can kill him..... as many as we can"

    Chris Kyle was quoted as saying " I'm ready to meet my maker and answer up for every shot I took"(I've read a couple versions of this quote with slight differences)

    Point being, Freedom and Independence doesn't come free.
    Honor those who serve, these are special people... our finest.
    And when flying that flag on the 4th, look the makers tag over.
    Buy a Flag Made in America.

    A Happy 4th to all, especially the families of our military.

    God Bless and Thank You

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
