Jimi I agree with you 100% "Freedom is NOT FREE!" I too was in the wrong place and came back with a disability. Just a note: I noticed that the biggest complainers are hardly ever on site. They don't help with answers to questions nor have they joined in any swaps that I remember in the last two years I have been active. I was going tp stay out of this but when you apologized, it HURT. NEVER apologize for being a VET or for asking for prayers for yourself or others. Our great nation was "Founded Under God". If these fishermen (sic) don't like the topic or what they read; they can hit the delete button. I think Byard needs to support those that support him, this site and his business. Now this is my last word on this subject. God Bless and remember our Veterans because without them, we could not be doing as we do now.Jim the deserttroutMay your GOD be your fishing partner.
