Gotta love the equilateral triangle shield on the Remington, and the SAK-like blade combo on the Hammer Brand scout is an interesting variation! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Thank you to all veterans for your service and particularly to those who sacrificed more than their time and effort. My stepfather, from whom I derived most of my knife collection, served as an Army veterinary officer in Korea. My paternal grandfather, an Army doctor, served in WWI. My father, who graduated from West Point on June 6, 1944, was an Airborne Ranger and Special Forces officer in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, retiring in 1964. The latter two rest in Arlington National Cemetery. It wasn't unusual that I joined the Army ROTC in college in 1967, getting my officer's commission in 1971 and honorable discharge seven years later. However, the only thing that I put at risk was my liver during visits to the Officers' Club.

I attended a wreath laying ceremony this morning conducted by my American Legion Post, chatting in the sunshine with fellow members. Afterward, my son called to tell me that he had dropped a big buck and needed my help getting it home and butchered. It hit me that this morning embodied just a little of the freedom, the liberty, the pursuit of happiness that veterans secured for me and mine through their service and sacrifice. Again, with a grateful heart, thank you, VETS!

It is cool enough that we'll have a fire in the outdoor fire pit tonight, and Old Glory pictured above will receive a proper retirement.

Edited to add: Of the time that I was in the USAR, only a short summer camp (Ft. Bragg) and a 3 month Officer Basic Training (Ft. Benjamin Harrison) were active duty; the rest was asleep at the wheel.

You have a beautiful and inspiring family legacy of service to the nation, my friend. I spoke to my Dad last night, who served as a cold war officer on a USN destroyer. Like you, he is not given to elevate his own service, but also like you, he put himself out there. Kudos!

And much respect and thanks to all our veterans here on BF!
@Chief ~ I’m thinking of you as well today.

Nice Kabar, Stuart. You and I were in the Army at the same time; if we crossed paths, I would have saluted you. :thumbsup:
