We lost another Washington Brother!!!
« on: June 20, 2013, 07:38:18 PM »
Just caught this on iCasualties.  Specialist Robert W. Ellis, 21, from Kennewick was KIA by indirect fire, along with 3 other American heroes on Bagram Air Force Base, Afghanistan yesterday.  I don't pray but my thoughts are with his family.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I agree, but if it makes you feel any better ours is just a drop in the bucket compared to how much they spill. These people cannot contend with professional warriors.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
