    Last weekend I gave a half dollar to the vet at the VFW table outside the supermarket, and I got a little cloth poppy in return.

    WWII Veteran
    He served in Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and central Europe battle campaigns.
    Bronze star recipient.

    I assume that sign says Salzburg (Austria), which, when combined with the "Reichsautobahn", presumably put him in Bavaria, possibly near Berchtesgaden, the town at the base of the mountain where Hitler had his mountain home.

    I'll bet he had some stories to tell, although many did not share them,

    Awesome giveaway. My father was a veteran. He joined the Army during WWII and was stationed at Arlington VA. He got out just after the war, but then joined the Marines in 1965. He did 2 tours in Vietnam before retirement in 1979. I received an NROTC scholarship after high school and went active over the summers, but I never took my commission. I consider myself a Joy Boy, and not actually a vet even though I have discharge papers. My hats off to those who served.

    You're a good man, 1630Boston :)

    Lot of vets, myself, included here. That's nice to see.
    Many were WAY before my time. Others overlapped my time. Sometimes, makes me wonder if some of us were 2 ships passing in the night (ie....might have come across one another at some point, some base, but, due to time and due to screen names, we just don't know it.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    My first name was given to me in honor of my personal hero, my great uncle Russell Goodchild. If you can read the date you'll know it was a very important date in US history.

    On the coin side of things. I should get this one back from the sticker factory tomorrow with a green bean

    Extremely important date and your Uncle was an extremely important MAN.

    I would like to say THANK YOU to all veterans; past, present and future. I was active duty Air Force for 24 years. I once purchased a 1884-S Morgan Dollar from a pay phone on the streets of Utrecht, The Netherlands from a U.S. dealer. The counter on the phone spun like crazy trying to make that purchase in 1990...I misplaced that coin and who knows how many others during one of my moves.
