Great American,

[DHuffman]

Great story here, makes you proud to be an American and an Oklahoman.

There could be a detail or two to pick at but I'm not gonna be that guy.

RIP and thanks for your service.

Makes me more proud of my Choctaw brothers. One of my Choctaw Oklahoma Uncles was with Patton during the War and re enlisted and fought in Korea. He had to cheat to get in as Uncle Joe was only 5' 1".

I thought you were of Choctaw heritage when I read this Butch. I was born and raised on the old Cherokee strip near Woodward.
