Default Respecting our elders
Or something like that. My grandfather served in the Army for many years before retiring as an E-8. He spent time in Germany in WWII and also in Korea. He used to have a lot of memorabilia until the house was broken into back in the 80's and the thieves pissed and shit on everything important in the house that they didn't take, including all of his military certificates and awards. So I made him a shadowbox and gave it to him yesterday as an early birthday present. I think he was about to cry he was so touched. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

Old man still is grit and steel. That's why I love him so much. They say he was in the CIA also but he won't say anything of it. He doesn't deny it, but you know how all that secret squirrel stuff is.
