Ooh, speaking of heirlooms you just reminded me. . .My dad still has a ka-bar and a 1911 .45 he carried during WWII (he was on both Saipan and Iwo Jima). And I'm the only one of his 3 sons who went into the Corps, so maybe. . .I'm seeing him next month, maybe I can chat with him about it.

Maybe he'd be willing to forget that I later fell to the Dark Side and got an Army commission.

Anyway, Semper Fi and thanks for your own service!!
