Default Operation Enduring Freedom 1911

Here is my new Citadel Operation Enduring Freedom 1911 (made by Armscor) that was in the warehouse. I am trying to find out the story behind it with the name on it whether it was a cancelled order or possibly a killed in action service member. (I sure hope not!)
If anyone can translate the writing below the ejection port please chime in!!!
It really is not as marked up as it looks in the picture!!!

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

This is what one normally looks like. It looks as if he customized his by adding a unit patch in place of the full Operation Enduring Freedom logo!!

Well I found out about the name on the slide and why it was not picked up. All I can say is that he is a convicted felon, meth charges, and is serving time in prison since his conviction in December of 2012. A buddy of mine tracked down this info for me as I could not find out anything about him!!
