Although I never had the opportunity to meet "The General" ... I am an avid listener to Scott´s podcasts and was impressed to send along my sympathy to the entire McKay family. Know that what your father, Sam, began ... your family members are continuing; the love of country and individual freedom. (and it´s contagious!)
Thank you and bless you all for the personal sacrifices that your family has made.
