Photo of the memorial to Major David Stirling, Scots Guards, founder of the SAS - near Doune, Perthshire, Scotland.



His family estate was nearby.

Mods - please move to the appropriate forum if I'm in the wrong place.

Very cool, SV. Applause I'd post a "salute" smiley, but the selection here is very limited.

That is a good photo. My hometown has been taking up a collection for a similar statue to honor my Special Forces background for the last 21 years, but so far they have only be able to raise $12.43! At this rate I will have been dead for 345 years before they raise enough for my statue. Oh well, maybe they will get more donations at our Chille Cookoff this weekend.

Duster, for those of us that can't make it the the Chili Cookoff, or "just plain don't want to contribute" well..., we will keep you in our prayers... Wink

Thank You for your Honorable and Selfless Service in the SOF Community.
