[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1635209, member: 54383"] I really appreciate that. I will definitely take you up in that offer. I’ll give you a call when the time comes closer. As a side note I must brag a bit as when I went up to help with those hunt two years ago. I got to experience something very cool. I was watching a young man late 20’s talk about how he was wounded. Then had to fight with the army to let him go back only to be winded again and how he wanted to go a third time. After he told his story I see one of the older vets shake his hand and give him something. After the young man looked at it I heard him say “ you have a Medal of Honor?” He responded yes and told the young man he thanked him for his service. I must admit I was not educated in the medal. So I quickly looked it up to realize it was something very special. 52 living people at the time had them. When I saw all these guys that had lost limbs and other parts get in line to thank him and shake his hand I knew it was special. Long story short I spent some good time with that man and learned his story. I have stayed in contact with him since. Very special person and I have a picture with him and a coin he gave me above my fire place. Very special to me. Sorry had to brag a bit. [/QUOTE]
