187th Rakkasan we met at the ymca yesterday

Sorry I accidentally posted previous anyway this older gentleman and I started talking in the ymca pool. After the boys were doing the obligatory let’s dunk dad. As I said their both around 150 in weight combined both of them can kick my six foot 145 pound ass. He mentioned that our sons give me a run for my money, I told him it is a hobby for the boys.

Come to find out this guy was 187th RCT in Korean War and is a father of four grown sons. I introduced him to our sons , always a honor to meet a fine American.
