They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in
some cases “dinosaurs”. Some of us are “baby boomers” getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are NOT what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshipped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being “over the hill” and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.

    I am a Baby Boomer Geezer, spent over 20 years in the Military guarding our country. I have paid heavily for that, But even though I am crippled and terminal I will still protect my country from enemies forein and domestic. I still have my eyes and was one hell of a sniper in the day.

    I used to be a Helluva shot. Now, with iron sights, 100 yds is problematic. Guess I am going to have to step into the modern world and scope everything now......
