I survived and I'm back!
 

Hello all,
I have not been on here since 2008. I was injured in Iraq and had undergone quite a bit or surgery and recovery time. Needless to say a broken back complete right shoulder repair and 3 fused fingers on my left hand don't leave me to much to poke on a keyboard. However, I am as well as I can be and happy as a lark. I am retiring 31 August 2012. I never thought that I would make it this far. Any ways I just wanted to say howdy and I have been hiding in the shadows reading and laughing abunch. Thanks for keeping me occuppied over the last few years. Thanks and HAAPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! God 29 years, 11 months and 29 days and a handful of hours....:hit:Go ahead sign me up again...Daa...huh...

Welcome back Slow Burn. Congratulations on your survival and toughing it out (as I'm sure you must have done). I honor your service, strength, and great attitude.

I'm also glad you're enjoying a little time with the jokers on this forum. Well, all except Muley of course.

Slow Burn

Welcome back! and congrats on the retirement... I did the same thing a long while back after Nam...

The best thing you said in your post... Let me say one pointed thing... build on that statement and keep building... If you ever need help - go get it! and do not hesitate...

OK so muzzleloading - welcome back to the sight... As you must already know their are some really good people here...

Just out of curiosity where will your home be and what are you gonna be shooting?

Welcome back and thanks for your service to the USA. Congrats on your upcoming retirement. Get to the VA for your service connection after you retire.

i retired from the US Army 31 October, 1979.

Welcome back. Congrats on your recovery and thank for your service. God bless you!!!

I was not a member of the board in '08, only getting into ML hunting in 2009. But welcome back and many thanks for your service.

Same as what everybody else said - Welcome back, but more than that thanks for your service to our country. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. Chances are there's somebody on here that lives kinda close to you.

Welcome Back.

Welcome back and thank you.

Tried to respond last night but my bandage saw fit to erase my reply so I gave up.

Welcome back Brother:cool15:.

WB - Retiring in August 2012! Good for you. 13 more months for me. Hope you have a full recovery and I give you my deepest thanks. God bless you.

Welcome back and best of luck in the future with all you do.

Thanks
 

Thank yall for the warm welcome back. I sure do appreciate it. I will be staying here in Indian Mound, TN about 25 minutes out of Ft Campbell for those that was wondering. I have been on a slow recovery and I am looking forward to getting back into shooting a little when it cools down a bit here. Its been a long road that I have been on lately. I had a complete reconstructive surgery on my right shoulder and a fusion on my left hand so I had not been able to shoot for awhile. However, its good to be back and be in the land of the free. I hope yall have a happy Independence day.

Thanks for your service to our country.I pray God grants you a fantastic retirement filled with adventure and contentment.

welcome back, and thank you for your service to us and the country

Welcome home friend and enjoy the rest of your life in peace. Most of us are old vets and can understand your situation. My time in hell was VN and desert storm.

And yes it is hotter then hades out at the range lately. I have a bunch of work to do out there and wish it would cool down!!!
