I remember you posting about him. I believe he's the one you gave a Regulator to. Your daughter got one too IIRC. I am grateful for the service of both of them.
The EGA means alot to me. It gives something tangable that I can associate my sense of accomplisment to.
I have nothing of similar significance. All I have is generic stuff. Some silver Lieutenant bars, US, Armor Branch devices, some ribbons. I used to have a Viet Nam Service Medal, but my oldest daughter lost it in a sand box around 1975. I have various pieces of paper that said I did this and did that. I was an Air Commando, which only means I served in an Air Force Special Operations unit. Serving in the 56th Special Operations Wing was the only thing of significance I ever did in the Air Force. We got no badges, tabs, or anything special for that. I got out as a SSGT. I am so proud that my 19 year old daughter has been selected for a Special Operations unit. She will be my legacy. In the mean time, I will gaze upon that shiny munitions maintenance badge I got from that pathetic airman who had no pride at all in his branch of service or his specialty. How sad. Somebody's got to get those bombs ready!
