Met a Childhood Hero Today

<strong>As many of you know, I travel alot for a living and meet alot of celebrities in my travels. Well, today I met, and chatted with a childhood hero of mine. Today on my flight from LA to Atlanta, I got to meet R. Lee Ermey. A very nice guy, and how he talks on his shows and in the movies is how he is in real life. He even offered me a seat next to him at the airport and we chatted for over an hour. He even waited for me off the plane to continue our chit chat. One hell of a guy and needless to say, made my week.</strong>

Very cooool...congrats to you!!!<br>

Wow, I bet that was an awesome conversation!<br>

I always liked him.That must have been fun.

That must have been a treat.<br>
Did he give you a personal Sgt Hartman rant?..lol. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif">

It's always a memorable event to spend some time with a famous person. <br><br>
He sure gets to shoot some cool stuff, bazookas and machine guns etc. And he gets paid big money to do it, what a job.<br><br>
I once got to spend about an hour with Charles Bronson. Just him and I, That was 48 years ago, and I still remember it clearly, I doubt that it was quite as big of a deal to him. LOL Michael

I ran into a friend of mine from childhood on Facebook a short while ago. He's been a lifer in the military. He has a pic of himself with R. Lee Ermey. I don't remember what he said was the occasion but he said that when Ermey found out that he had been in the military for so long and where he has been that he asked if he could get his picture taken with my buddy as opposed to the other way around.

<strong>Now that I am back home. I got a chance to upload a couple of pics. I have to say, R. Lee Ermay is a class act. Speaks his mind, and he even gave me a souvenier. ( they give these away to special customers for GLOCK. He is their spokesperson ). Gonna be my lucky piece in Vegas!!!<br><br><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/TheDSN/TheGUNNY2.jpg" alt="image"><br><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/TheDSN/GunnyPics001.jpg" alt="image"><br><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/TheDSN/GunnyPics002.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br></strong>
