Good Doctor, 
your good heart — and your creative story that gives us a glimps of it — brightened my day. Thank you!
And it inspired me to call my parents today!
And it motivated me to begin working on a gift for mom and dad that isn't anything like an airgun — but different people, different gifts...!
I pray God will give you wisdom as you treat your patients. Thank you for serving!

Proud of You ! You did the right thing . The fastest way to put a grin on a former Marine is hand him a rifle .

Just got home from my hunting camp. Had to do a little maintenance. My dad is 78 and really enjoys being able to shoot 100yrds with no recoil. He says his taking a pounding behind a gun days are over. Watching him shoot when we take a break or when we get up in the morning is priceless. I too have already lost guns to him. I will get them back some day but that will be a very sad day.

Thank you sir, That is truly humbling to hear. I am glad it helped you.
Thank you for the kind words. I just truly hope folks understand reading this. that i wrote this to make folks smile and laugh. Likewise it was to share a good moment with my dad and it is about him. I did not want to make it about me or compliments to me.
As a update. My father has been really enjoying the airgun and shooting it almost daily. As a airgun for what he is using it, i am impressed by the FX Impact and how accurate it is with a variety of pellets. Or it could be that the old man is still just that good with his aim, lol. Dont make me admit it to him... hehhehe.

I completely agree. There is nothing that i want to inherit from my parents. Ast that is a day i do not want to see.
Father's day is coming guys... time to start thinking lol. So many options to do for him with this new hobby. maybe a nicer scope?
Oh... a guided turkey hunt here in FL...
Folks ,again thank you for all the kind words. But the main point is to make you all smile and have a positive note in this time of fear, anxiety and isolation.
God bless you all
PS.
I have been very busy with work last few days. So i have not had time to come back to the thread as often. apologies.

I can understand but it would have to be my grandpa as my father passed away years ago. However I think I am going to have to find one for my brother in law since he shot mine and only lives 15 minutes away. Family is awesome to me as I am sure they are to most, but I think I may have been blessed more than most, some of it may be biased but I do have some amazing family.

cool. It is nice to be able to share good hobbies with family. I hope you all have a great time. My grandfather was just amazing. Different then my dad (stepdad). But amazing. He was my mom's dad. Fought in 4 wars as a medic for Israel. I miss him dearly. HIm and my grandmother. Those were tough days.Anyways. Have a wonderfull evening everyone.

As time goes by, this will be a memory that will never fade. My father was a WWII vet and I'm a VN vet. I miss my dad, spend all the time you can with him

Awesome thread. I recommend getting the stories written down if you still can. In WWI, my grandad fought in the Meuse Argonne. He was in the 82nd Division 328th Infantry, Company G; Alvin York's unit. How I wish his stories had been recorded. I had five uncles that fought in WWII, and I know one of them participated in two amphibious assaults; the invasion of Sicily and invasion of Italy. But that's all I know, because none of their stories were written down.
