Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 On 6/3/2022 at 6:12 PM, Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 said: I often have a few of these in my pocket; they make dandy "spot awards" for Scouts doing something good. Also... there've been a bunch of times I've been in a checkout line at the supermarket in front of or behind an older gentleman wearing a "World War II, Korea, or Viet Nam Veteran" ball cap. I'll tell 'em "I like your hat!" then hand 'em a P-38. Never fails to bring a grin. Just two days ago, I drove Half-Breed Pete to an appointment at the California Eye Institute. While there I gave one to a Viet Nam vet in the waiting room and a WWII/Korea vet in the parking lot on the way out. Both were plumb tickled. Both grinned.
