Close? Like having the pocketwatch of grandpa?
There's one lil' difference 'tho - imagine what these dogtags went through at the impact.
Tomato, Microwave?
Not something i would want to have.
It's not just AC and pilots I was talking about. Groups are looking for our war dead in many known combat arenas. WW1, WW2, and the Korean War just to name a few. They are still finding grave like the mass graves near Fromelles in France. Hundreds of British and Commonwealth military war dead have been found there. They are doing DNA sampling in the hope of finding out who these men are. Now that's got to cost a hole lot of money. Only treasure there is,is one of people finding out where their love one's are and perhaps finally laying them to rest in a respectful way.
