That was 5 years ago and on 18 May we will be having our 5th 5K in Seminole Oklahoma. Each year it has had more people attened, donate/support. This year one of the guys that was with Brett when he was killed has become a Army NG chopper pilot and is working to do a fly over (sorry Don Ithink that it will be in Blackhawks). Krysten has got the sponser letter sent out in is already working on the design for this years t-shirt. Last year several of members of the unit that Brett was in had been deployed they signed up on line and ran the 5K in the AOR.
With all that said I hope you enjoy this build thread for a 5 K run to honor a young man

Sept 9 2011 we lost our hero in Afghanistan do to small arms fire when people from that coutry attacked his unit. https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/army-sgt-bret-d-isenhower/6567969The town that he grew up in Seminole Oklahoma has done many things to honor his memory and I just wanted to share. My step daughter Krysten wanted to do something to honor her brother and to keep him alive in people memorries and to remind them that freedom is not free. Brett loved to run which he did a lot. One New Year eve he and his Frat brother ran a relay from Seminole to Ada (30 miles) oh and it was about 15 deg outside all because someone said they couldn't do it. After the 1st year with out him Krysten took up running is started off with running around town but each run got longer and longer, she now has 5 marathons, 3 half and several 5K under her belt. She feels that Brett along with the Holy Spirt talks to her on these runs and gives her directions for her like along with great comfort. She and Brett had one of the best relationship that I have ever seen between a brother and sister. Well on one of these runs she got the idea of starting a 5 K run and the money would go to set up a scholarship in Brett's name at the high school that they both graduated from. This plan started in Dec and she wanted the run to be the weekend before Memorial day! I'm here to tell you that she pulled it off, she got the city to block off roads that the runners would be on, a promotion company with timer so that it is a qualifing race for marathoners, sponsers, T shirts and medals. Never underestimate the drive of a young lady that loved her brother.

Men,
A new prayer request; a friend of mine Howard A life passed away yesterday morning. He was a Vietnam vet that had been exposed to Agent Orange and developed cancer from that exposure for several years now. Please pray for his family, Howard ' daughter in law passed away about a year ago so his son is taking this loss very hard.
Thank you
Steve

Because sometime we just need to hear a good story.
Earlier this week a young man that had been in our church from the time he was conceived now he is married and has 2 kids of his own. He hadn't been feeling well for a few months so he went to a doctor and they did and MRI and told him that it looked like pancreatic cancer and scheduled him to see an oncologist on Friday, by the way he has had 2 family members I know of that have died of pancreatic cancer. Getting into see a specialist with in a week is kind of rare I think. There had been many Prayers said for him, well he gets to see the oncolgist on Friday and after all the test the doctor ask him if he believes in miracle and he said yes! The doctor said you should, "I don't know what your people did but there is no sign of cancer like the test showed from you doctor"
Praise God!

Real - men don't need no recoil pad. Get rid of that and go with a good steel butt plate so you can end up with a shoulder that looked like mine after shooting mine. LOL
Good looking rifle, I have 2 45/70 rifles and love both just not the bruised shoulder
I'll have you know, it's your fault I got that darn thing. Shame on you for posting up pics!!
Shawn, I had a choice between the Marlin and Henry. The henry action was tighter, and the machining a little more precise, and nicer furniture imo.
I liked the Marlin lever/handle better, and also the gated magazine...just something weird about loading a rifle with your hand over the muzzle that seems "off". lol
Hey now you guys said I had to post pictures. "It is the rules" and all LOL

I didn’t even comment on this thread and he has to disparage the Air Force. And to correct you, I’ve never gotten a bruised shoulder from a .22, I fireit from the hip like a real warrior, I saw that on Rambo!! 
Remember I'm Air Force also

About $6 a round
Thats a nice looking gun and round.

Reminds me of my shoulder after sighting in my 460wby
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Never shot a 460wby but I would say that the 45 70 isn't a round you go shot several 100 rounds in a weekend.
I know the loads probably weren’t as heavy but think about those old timers who used to hunt buffalo for skins. Recall that scene in dances with wolves?
That is what I was think 20 rounds did that what would it look like if I shot all day long!

Whats with all the fur? Heck thats not bad, didn't even break the skin.
I like the finish also, my 30-30 has a similar finish.
Real men grow hair on their chest! LOL I still have full range of motion of my arm. What gets me is I also have a Henery Golden big boy in 45 70 and shooting it didn't cause any kind of mark. Not sure if it is the brass vs harden reciever or that the barrel is 2 inches longer on the winchester or both that caused it to kick more.

That’s a nice looking rifle, I like the wood & the discoloring of the action
Do you know if that will handle the hot bear loads? After viewing the picture of your shoulder it got me thinking about the bear loads I bought but never shot for our trip up north last summer.
Thanks, the wood and case harded reciver is why I always loved and wanted that rifle. I credit my grandfather with my love of hunting, fishing and outdoors. Not sure what a hot bear load is but that is from 49 grains of powder with a 350 grain hollow point sitting on top.

Growing up my grandfather had a several diffrent guns but the one I loved was his Winchester 1886 which my cousin got after he passed and sold for drug money some years later  Well when Winchester said they would make a reproduction of it I went to my LGS and placed one on order. Winchester was some what off on when they would be produced, I waited 2 1/2 years but it did come in. I don't like waiting! Took it out and shot 20 round of 45 70 now my right shoulder is black, blue and red but was total worth the wait. I guess that steel butt plate and 45 70 round was made for someone with no feeling in their shoulder or back in the day those guys shoulders could take a bunch more pounding

And all that is why I will not accept a mangement possition. I did my time in mangement in the Air Force. Had to sit down and teach a 19 year old kid how to keep track of a check book because he was looking at getting kick out because he would always overdraft his check book. Best thing anyone told me was my E9 telling me that I was not political correct to make E9 Now all I have to do is keep track of myself !!!!

one way we will be going to or coming from Kokomo Ind my sister lives there. The other most likly Memphis my wife is a big Elvis fan and would love to stop and see Graceland. The Red game is the main reason we are going, we have been watching one of the player from middle school on and if it wasn't for the wife his mom and dad wouldn't have meet. Not sure about staying any place (kind of wish Wright Patterson was near) but the wife isn't much of a fan of camping. Her roughing it would be a Hoilday Inn!

Teenage boys should work fine Meth head 45 ACP works better. Taser are great but some people can fight through the shock and still keep going. Good side the X26 can shot the probs or you can remove the cartridge and contact shock the person. Bad side I have had to fight 2 guys that when I shot them one of the wires came off the probs and with out both in the guy no shocking effect. Just always have a back up plan. Please check local laws some places have laws about joe blow having police type equipment but in my book it is better to be judged by 12 in place of carried by 6

Many years ago when I was a inflight manitenance technican on the Airborne Command Post (the airplane with the keys to launch the nukes) because of the mission of the aircraft we had some priorities with things. We sitting in the alert bunker a plan was hatched and the maintenance and radio operators went out to the aircraft fired up the radios and started calling remote bases, camps and forts and asked if they would like to place a call home. This was before Facebook, moral call and the like. Bring some Chritsmas joy to families a minutes at a time. Most likly the best Christmas I spent away from the family.
Anyone else have some milatry Christmas stories?

Evening rant!!
Went to a military retirement ceremony for a guy that I supervised many years ago when I was in (I sure hope this isn't making me old). Good to see many of the younger guys from when I retired an man so many new faces, I wondered if their mothers knew that they had gotten out of the house. But back to the rant: why in the world for a military retirement would you need to print the words to the Nation Anthem in the program? 99% of the members are or had been military. The guy that was retiring wife and kids are the only ones that I knew had not been in the military. If you are going to defend this country I would think you could sign he first verse of our National anthem (I won't start on athletes especially Olympic ones) maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy
Rant off

Don,
Thank you.
Bret was on a small kill team to get the people that planted the IED along that road. They inserted at night and once it started to get light they saw that they where expossed so the fell back to find a better place to set up and found what they thought was a safe place between an old mud hut and a almost 90 deg cliff. they set a primater but most of it towards the hut away from the cilff. Well those people came up the cliff and started firing killing 3. One of the soilder was able employ a morter on the bad guys as they went back down the cliff killing all of them. The other soilders told us that Bret was killed instantly. They told us that it was a 1 in a million hit, went in under his arm traveled through the chest and missed the body armor completely. Bret was able to save one of his soilders the week before his death when the soilder was hit in the arm during a fire fight. We draw peace from knowing that he didn't suffer, he was doing what he loved and he knew Jesus and is home with him now. Thank for your service I will look for your book and give it a read.
Send me your address, I'll send you one...signed (Armee Pilots can rite, 2, ya know)
It would be my honor
PM me with your information
Thanks again
