Breakfast of champions. I am not a champion. I think I have to throw up.

I'm interested, but it may be 6-months to a year before I'll be ready to buy.

Yes he absolutely was. Have to dig up the picture. Apparently there was a “staged” picture Ana them there were the non staged pictures. He was in the unstaged pictures. Very proud of his sacrifice as such a young man and ALL THOSE that have paid the ultimate price. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸

My maternal grandfather “Roy Barnett” on the right.


Lied about his age, as only 17.

Forever grateful to him. He passed when I was a senior in HS. One of the most inspirational men in my life.

Great picture! Wish I could still ask my dad about his days in the war but when I did I didn’t get very long answers. I have several old pictures of places he was stationed but I don't know anything about them. When I was younger I didn't seem to care, now I'd love to find out more.

Common with that generation. My dad was a tail gunner on a bomber in the Korean War. They got shot down. That’s all I know as he never talked about it and he’s gone now. They served their country, came home, got a job, got married and raised a family. No whining or expectations of special treatment because they served.

The only photo I have and cherish (he’s kneeling second from left):

I'm not in any rush to sell, I like the car. I'd only want to sell so I can get a Non-commemorative C5 Z06, then I won't feel guilty when I make it my own.

Morning GS.
Grandpa (Pop) seldom talked about the events of his service or how he was awarded the medals he was given. He was forever extremely proud to have served as a Marine.

My grandparents never slept in the same bedroom as after his return he would wake up with I guess night terrors and was choking her one time. They didn’t talk about those things back then but I assume PTSD from the atrocities he had seen. Cannot imagine as a teen the things he saw and did that he never spoke of. 🇺🇸 So much respect.
