Has Anyone Ever Seen One Of These?

[Pale Rider]

The card is pretty much self explanitory. It was my grandfather's. I wondered if anyone here has ever seen one of these?





Just think of it... if people had to do this today. Think how rabid the left is about the war now. Think about what they'd be like if they had to go through times like the above.

Hell... there isn't a one of 'em with enough guts or spine.

I don't have to "enlighten" anyone, especially you. America has saved the world twice over. Think about that.

Perhaps you should stop making obtuse statements then and concentrate on the topic at hand.
