Geeze Art; You say you shot 142 that day. Do you know how many survived.
Myself, I had better luck the day I shot for record. They marched us out to this Texas desert, emptied the sand out of the gun barrels, and with no prior practice, told us to see what we could do. WELL, I won three medals that day. One for the carbine, one for the 45, and one for the thompson. They were the prettiest purple you ever did see. Along with my three purple ribbons, E.T.O. ribbon, and good conduct medal, they gave me my most prized of all. THE RUPTURED DUCK.
Gotta go now. But later on, I would like to tell you how all of our training that day prepared us for the days to come
Sorry Art, for taking that shot at you. All in fun. besides I probably missed as I did back then
