    US Army 1947 to 1969. Also retired police officer. Best of all, still breathing and kicking, but not to hard.

    1644 sign in deals with my police district 16, and badge number 44.

    Name John

    Was a little too young for WW2, but lived during that era.

    Many years of playing with guns. Enjoy shooting civil war and indians war era guns.

    With great pleasure survived Korea, 1951

    Now happy to wake up each morning.
