Yes I thank God for giving me the family I'm in. I believe my family is German/dutch background which came over here before the war for Independence and I have a great great great great grandfather on my dads side who died in the second day of fighting of the battle of Shiloh during the American civil war he was in the 9th Indiana Regiment I Company He had a son who was born in may a year before he died. he died on the Davis wheat field by a musket ball to the head. So at least he didn't suffer also I have a great uncle on my moms side who was wounded in battle. so I'm not lucky I'm just blessed.

well here is what I've been doing these past few days why it took so long was because I had to resize the parts for the sides of the ship. something else I've done is an enlarged version of Lou Coatney's Butler class Destroyer Escort complete with hull and the camo and Identification number of the USS Samuel B. Roberts DE 413.

where the family was a sacred institution.where children loved and respected their parents. where a mans home was his castle. this was our America.
...Bring it back

America is alive and well JR., don't let anyone tell you differently. Especially the "Accuser of our Brethern".
