That's it skunk, I think we were at the top of the list for number of rounds fired while in service. It was a mess cleaning up all that 20mm brass though.

Alrighty then Billy, and thank you for your service and devotion to our great country. In fact, thank all you Vets and current military personnel for your service. I've said it before on other threads and I'm proud to say it again: You folks are the true American Heroes.
