Very interesting. Just an observation....... Sgt Taffe has a lot of fruit salad and bling on his chest for a new graduate of boot camp, including two airborne pins. Could those be from his prior service, and if you serve honorably in two branches, are you allowed to wear the patches, pins, and medals from prior service in the first branch when currently serving in the second branch? If not, then I'm thinking that this picture was taken quite some time after he graduated from boot camp.

(I think I might have just answered my own question when zooming in on the pin that has what might be the Navy's UDT emblem on it.)

Second question is, what is the significance of one jump pin being silver, and the other gold? Just curious......

With firm reliance on the protection of divine providence...that is the only thing that will save us now. I do not see the constitution being saved--even if we get the right judges for one more term of a presidency. In order to rely on providence, we need to be worthy of it. That is where I am focusing my efforts. Let's not get too wrapped up in the daily garbage and remember that we may need to band together. If we can then rely on divine providence, we will be unstoppable.

The constitution will survive.

It may require the millions of American veterans, along with other like-minded individuals, rising up in armed revolt, but the constitution will survive. You see, we swore an oath...
