Kimber: The Best Gun Maker on the Planet?
While Kimber today dominates the 1911 market like no other, the company wasn’t an immediate success after its founding.
Here s What You Need To Remember: The company has become known for building fine sporting firearms that are better than even the classics from the golden age of American firearms.
While it was Colt Firearms that produced the first of the John Moses Browning-designed M1911 .45 pistols, today the market leader in the category is Kimber. And it isn’t hard to see why, as the company has become known for building fine sporting firearms that are better than even the classics from the golden age of American firearms.
UK Army/Air Force ROTC honor Elwood Woody Hughes and Franklin Sousley, two veterans with Kentucky ties who served in Iwo Jima.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 25, 2021) This past Tuesday, University of Kentucky Army and Air Force ROTC cadets commemorated the 76th anniversary of the flag raising on Iwo Jima with a flag raising ceremony on the UK campus. The event paid special tribute to two World War II veterans with Kentucky ties: the late Elwood “Woody” Hughes and Franklin Runyon Sousley (1925-1945).
Hughes, who died Feb. 2, 2021, at age 95 in Lexington, had planned to raise a flag this Tuesday at Veterans Park Elementary in Lexington to honor those who lost their lives at Iwo Jima. Shortly after his death, schools across Chicago (where he lived most of his life) and beyond received word of his plan, and over 100 flag raising ceremonies were organized. His son, Bill Hughes, rose the flag at Veterans Park Elementary on his father s behalf.
Flags will be flown at half-staff for the next week starting Friday across Ocean County government buildings in memory of former Ocean County Prosecutor and Toms River Mayor Tom Kelaher, who passed away this past Sunday at the age of 88.
Kelaher dedicated his life to serving others, whether it be with the U.S. Military, Ocean County Prosecutors Office, as Toms River Mayor, as a parishioner at St. Joseph s Roman Catholic Church and as a husband, father and grandfather.
He truly had a heart of gold and an infectious smile.
