RIP Chris Kyle
This thread was started by The Tennesseean in recognition of
service men and women, who have lost their lives.
I have also,hopefully with his permission,
edited the thread title, to make this the now dedicated thread.This thread has been started, in response to posts on other threads about the military, and remembering/honoring them.
It seems fitting therefore that the tragedy of Chris Kyle,
should be here and not in any 'General' thread. -
Sad news,
RIP Stormin' Norman.
Hugely liked and highly respected here in the UK -

One of our British friends (Keith) can correct me if I'm wrong, but the correct term (geograhically) is "Ulster Scots" and when I list descriptions, you'll see the distinction!
Russ,
as far as I am aware you are correct
I checked the entry on this and here it is

For the Gents @ Pearl Harbor--especially on the USS Arizona: In memory of you all and Rest in Peace sirs:
I've visited the Arizona Memorial a couple of times
and those who have not,I can tell you, it's a moving experience -
Please, everyone - say a prayer of gratitude for all the dear souls, military and civilian, who made the supreme sacrifice on this date 71 years ago - the date which has, and will live - in infamy.
I'm humbled by this date, the actions of our personnel, and the reactions of this great nation and our allies.
God Bless all of them, both living and those in eternal rest.
I agree God Bless them all -
Thanks for posting this Russ.
A lovely and insightful post relating to your Dad.
You must be immensely proud,
as I am sure we all are of our parents,
relatives and friends, that served in the armed forces.
