This quote was given to me by a close friend following the shooting I was involved in. I hadn't thought about it for many years, but would now like to dedicate it all active duty and retired LEO's, military, veterans and all others who work to keep others safe.

You have never lived

For those who fight for it,

Those of you who fall into the groups I outlined above, if you have not yet read "On Wolves, Sheep and Sheepdogs" by Lt. Col David Grossman, I highly suggest you pick up or download a copy and read it. At least once.

 

"May the best of your today be the worst of your tomorrow"

 

I had the privilege of attending a lecture by LT Col. Grossman for a small group of us at work.

“Everybody in the world is crazy…except you and me….sometimes I wonder about you.”

And another one that seems to be relevant these days….

“I remember when I used to drink for fun!”

 

Hey. I actually liked my Vega. But I had the sport model with the 4 speed manual trans track and pinion steering and the 2bbl carb.

But I can relate to the thought. Having been in free fall at 120 mph and 5 seconds from impact, changes your perspective on life, how sweet things smell, how vivid are the colors.

My brother-in-law who was in the air force said it to me when a new plane cane out in the early 80ies. The media did not have good things to say about it. The plane is still in service.
