    Great story. My brother, Michael McNulty, served with Bob in the Delta force for a long time. My brother and Bob were killed together in June 2005. I will never forget the sound of my mother‘s voice when she called to tell me that my brother had died. Two great heroes, never forget.

I had a a Honda XR600 and I use to ride on Bragg too, mostly at the Spider 🕷 Pit behind Ritz Epps Center and off long street .

    Great stories of friendship and love in the Brotherhood. The dogs though... we have 2 rescues right now (we lost our oldest in February just before Valentines). I love that he wanted that dog, and love it even more that you rescued him from that miserable existence.
    My wife never wanted a "hound", well we have a 5 month old one now. Came up from Texas, him and his sister were on death row when they were rescued. I love dogs, people I tolerate.

    Dog kidnapping? Love it! My wife and I saw a Jack Russell terrier chained up out in a snowstorm in my hometown of Dodge City Kansas one day. We went by several times and he was there just shivering with no protection from the bitter cold and wind. We hatched a plan to "kidnap" the dog, and we were dead serious about it.
    You can just picture me, an above-knee amputee, trudging thru 14" of snow trying to get that dog, but I damn sure was going to do it! When we went to carry out the deed, the owner had finally let the dog inside.
    I have zero use for losers who mistreat pets.

    I saw a dog on a porch in Santa Monica CA, this is years ago, a big, mangy miserable husky - chained on the porch in the hot sun in summer, out on the rainy porch in winter. I had enough, cut the chain, took him to the vet, who shot him full of antibiotics, flea meds, mange meds, etc. Shipped him to a buddy in CT who had 5-7 dogs, on 100 acres. This is the heaven where dogs go when they die, kind of existence. That dog had 8-9 more years romping with the other dogs, sleeping in front of the fire places and eating and playing and fooling around with everybody. Blue…good dog.

    I told my mom i want to go fight in Vietnam plus i was so into the history of war and weapons systems.
    I lived a very violent childhood. I had a lot of demons yet i found i was that type of guy i used my past to help and show others that i was sensitive but when needed would runin to the fire .
    I was working came across 3 guys stealing a car 2 guys my size one garden gnome lol
    Well the driver after pumping out of the truck with my partner disappeared from sight and the 2 other guys my size got introduced to my light got back in the truck and locked the door.
    The little guy ended up stabbing me got me not bad but I did not know tell after i chased him down got the knife from him and found out that he was one of my friends from school days.
