I first read this in Coopers Corner what seems a long time ago.
Thank you Colonel , I give it back to you !
And though you be done to death , what then ?
If you battled the best you could;
If you played your part in the world of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl , or comes with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
But only how did you die ?
For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?--
the God who equipped me with strength
and made my way blameless.
He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. - Psalm 18:31-34 (ESV)
I got introduced to Col.Cooper through his writing's in the early 70's. Based on his fondness for the Commander size 1911, stating that it was the perfect side arm, I bought a 1971 Colt Combat Commander in 1973. I still have it. The only gun that I will never part with.
RIP Col. Cooper and say hey to Elmer. Two warriors reunited.
While Col. Jeff Cooper the man may have passed on, his legacy will never fade. Where ever true students of combat gather, his exploits and teachings will be passed on. Like Preacherman said, Col Cooper's guidance, if even not recieved directly from him, has lead many men, including myself through dangerous times.
Warrior, Rest in Peace knowing a new generation have assumed the post.
My prayers are with the family of Cononel Cooper. Our world is poorer with out him in it. Heaven is now well guarded R.I.P. Sir
Since I don't have a 1911 colt I'm going to drop the .45 acp cylinder in my blackhawk and fire a volley in the Colonel's memory.
Although your body has left us You spirit will be with all of us who don't depend on the government to protect us
Thank you Cononel Cooper
Neither of my parents shot firearms, or kept them in the house. Cooper's books taught me to shoot. I have returned the favor (I hope), by using Cooper's books to bring others into the world of firearms. He was an uncommon combination of warrior and scholar.
