  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Thanks Roger. I will get one done.....Soon. I still have 3 4'sticks of Aldo's 1084 so I guess It gives me something to do.
The one that was going to look like yours never happened:( I guess I'll forge it and build it myself as best I can;)
