Loved watching JQ growing up. Each character was their own kind of badass. And the 16 yr old actor doing JQ’s voiceover drove himself to the studio for work.

Good stuff for sure. But check out Alex Hollings' vid about it, and other laser weapons:

From my No. 2 son

omg … what a great page, fellas!

I rigged up a parachute to the back of mine, that I sat on, rode as fast as I could and let it fly out behind me. Had my mom take a picture. Made me feel like Don Garlits.

The ‘70s were the worst. It was painful to live through all those abominations.

He told me stories about it when I was a little boy, but I didn't really understand the importance of Belleau Wood until I got all his stuff in 2012 when my cousin sent it to me. (Campaign medal, purple heart, photos, letters with relatives and the Corps, etc.). Then I started researching, read...
