A 92 year old member of the Greatest Generation reminds of what American true grit once was.

“These people aren’t worth any more to me than a groundhog,” Jones told the Enquirer. “They have our country in havoc. We got so many $%&# crooked people walking around today.”

“I can’t leave the $%&# house to do my work outside,” said Jones, removing his World War II veteran cap with his right hand and running his left through his thin white hair.

“I was hoping another one would come up – I aimed right for his heart,” Jones, who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces from 1941 through ’46, told the Enquirer Monday afternoon. “I didn’t go to war for nothing. I have the right to carry a gun. That’s what I told the police this morning.”

Jones didn’t like how deputies treated him. “They stood down there with their guns on me, yelling, `Get your hands up! Get your hands up!’” he said. “I told them, `I’m not putting my $%&# hands up.’”

I read that story and I will say that I am glad the gentleman was able to prevail against the intruder into his home. On a side note, I hope someone gets him a new gun. I'd hate for any of the dead man's friends show up at the man's home and try and extract revenge while he is left unarmed.

At 92 Earl is still working his land. I dont think he expects anyone to "get him" anything and, I dont think the "groundhog" had many friends who are brave enough to wanna mess with Earl. I have nothing but respect for this man.

I know - 92 and still working! Losing 90 head of cattle is big money, I'd be awfully grumpy, too. God bless him.

Still, I'd like to see him armed with something, just in case.
