I was able to attend Ranger class 11/11 graduation yesterday. The list of VIPs that attended was huge and a good friend of mine was honored as the guest speaker.

Gun Safety Tip #6. When unholstering your weapon it's customary to say "Excuse me while I whip this out "

Awesome post. Those young Ranger Grads were in some ominous company there for sure.

It was pretty impressive list of VIP's. Got to meet the dude that was one of the original Ranger School grads.
On a side note, it was the first "Rangers In Action" demo I'd seen since 1995, and it doesn't seem to have changed much. Pretty cool.

I was a fortunate attendee of this ceremony. My youngest son was one of the graduates. I really enjoyed watching and listening to all the old time Rangers. They all knew each other, and obviously had brotherly bonds. Very impressive indeed.
Col. Puckett spent some time congratulating, and talking with my son. My son was excited to have that honor, as well as having so many other Ranger Hall of fame members at his graduation. It was a pleasure being in such company.
