Real Hero stopped by

[Sean]

Well we got a call the other day, from Gov. Perry, saying he wanted to stop by and get Marcus a new rig. Sure enough later that day, who walks in our shop but Gov. Perry & Texas Frog himself! Told him my sons would never forgive me if I didn't get some pictures this time, now that he's become a movie star and all. This man is the real deal, not to mention just a real down to earth good man.

Very cool.

The one and only time i have ever met Gov. Perry was in Ramadi, Iraq. He was on a meet and greet tour for all active duty Texans. I got the seat next to him, during the lunch period all we spoke about was deer hunting and everything to do with it. Of course once i finished my chow I put a pinch of snuff in. He glanced over and saw it and said "do you have any stateside Copenhagen?" I said "No Sir, but would give an arm and leg for a pinch". He reached down into his back pack and pulled out a 10 can roll of Stateside Cope and handed it to me, while saying " here you go son this should last you awhile". All the while the Washington state governor was up there blabbing about how great their state was, Gov. Perry jumped up and completly cut her off and talked about the great state of Texas and all we have to offer for active duty / prior service military. Great times were had by all! I would love to meet him again some day to shake his hand!

That is awesome.
