Memorial Day. Take a moment to think about those that aren't here with us, and those who fought and died in combat. This is a WWII relic from my collection. There is something about a piece of history or a part off a bomber or Tank especially. That when you hold it and think about it is pretty heavy. My brother and I always respected the fact that some nazi medals in our grandfather's collection were literally un-pinned off of another Man's chest who was the enemy.A friend of ours has a samurai sword trophy that is ancient and brought back after killing the original owner...Heavy stuff if you truly stop and take a moment to process it. Brave strong men passed tests years ago that I don't know that generations since could fare as well in the same situation. Thank you Vets one and all.
I miss my relatives in the great beyond.
