It is hard for me to understand the lack of sentementality of some folks but I suppose without that lack there would not be many milsurps for those of us that do not.
The few items I have from my famlies service are my most prized possessions. Now if I can just determine which of my nieces/nephewes has the gene so my family history does not end up at a garage sale so I can rest in peace.

Well...you never know what was going on within a given family over the years. Sometimes kids got out of the house as fast as they could and never looked back...and when the past inevitably comes back around, for reasons known only to them, they don't want to look back either.
