Workouts
Major General Roger Combs was born on February 22, 1945...an auspicious date and number! The Colt M1911 (also known as the Colt .45) is a semi-automatic pistol chambered primarily for the .45 ACP cartridge, favored by all military branches for its hard hitting firepower, absolute reliability, and overall toughness in combat operations. The Purple Foxes - including Roger Combs - were armed with this sidearm as they flew combat missions in Vietnam.
