He didn't put it on facebook, but my grandfather told me how he helped Custer find gold in the Black Hills, then later he was killed while riding with Crazy Horse at little big horn. He was a sniper in WWI until he was died in a mustard gas attack. In WWII he shot down seven zeros before he was killed flying his plane into the path of kamikazi that was heading towards his carrier. Later he was decorated posthumously for throwing himself on a grenade and saving his entire platoon in Italy. He used to ride with the hells angels until he was hit by a semi truck and killed. In his later years he was killed by a grizzly bear that he was hunting with a bowie knife.
Growing up with Grandpa was interesting, but sometimes a little confusing...
Jayzuz Dick, did you forget I was your Platoon C.O.? TRKOF&S, I couldn't ever forget that you saved my life by taking away the tequila bottle before I ate the worm. That's why I'm still your tailgunner, half deaf and half blind though I am, as long as you let me use the GAU-8, that is. Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
Ha! I rode with Pershing on the Mexican Punitive Expedition. So there.
