            Memorial day 2021, never forget. Excellent read.

            Picture of Riverside National Cemetery Memorial day, it's a beautiful site but very heart wrenching seeing all the flags on every grave.

                That obscure .45 found in a small gun store started this fantastic story. That .45 served in ww1, ww2 and the Korean war, what an honor it must be to preserve such a piece of American military history. A warmhearted thank you Davidwhitewolf for all your work and thank you Orville Bierkle for your service.

                      I just came across this amazing story and I am here to urge the remembrance of Orville A. Bierkle (USMC E/2/7), and the men like him, and honor them all.

                      Life was simpler, and more honest, when revolvers and lever actions were the rule.

                        Not sure what post you're referring to. Ruth has corresponded with the pistol's current owner. it may be buried past the first page.
