Fellas, we're honored.
Woody, I knew Jim was doing that gift a while back. I was hoping you'd hang pics.

Loveable old curmudgeon, he is. Damned proud to call him a "friend", but that word's inadequate.

Consider the same sentiments for and to you, ol' buddy. Ain't many people my wife will make me drive across the state for, just so she can give them a hug.

Might just be the best post ever!
Thanks for sharing!
David I'm sold on this notion! I just saw this for the first time today. To say, I'm moved, just doesn't begin to touch on the depth of awe I am in. Simply breathtaking....

Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

OK, I read it again, and probably will next year this time I expect, maybe even inbetween.
I thank my lucky stars today that I didn't have to participate in what you grunts did. When I was clerkin' away in a tank battalion in Europe in the 60's I so wished I could go to VN. My hat's off to ET and FlyBoyFlem and ALL vets everywhere. Damn! I wish I could say more.
edit
Yes! There is more to say and this is it: This thread is the best ever and should be recognized as such.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

 The jeweler who did the engraving on both cases was told the "why" and "how". I think he did a superlative job!! Odd, he had wet eyes when he handed it to me. Must have been his allergies

Somehow missed the original post, and am pretty much speechless.
