John,
Any chance your Dad was in the Navy? My father-in- law is 82 and was a gunner on the Yorktown in the Pacific. He never has purchased a Honda car

These guys are sincerely, America's greatest generation! I guess that's one reason why I love these war era guns. In a special way, the guns are helping to presere the history while these guys are gradually passing on. It won't be long and they'll all be gone.
