In Memoriam Give-away

Todd,

What a Great thread! I'll take #85. That's the age of my Dad today. When he was 17, he dropped out of High School, to enlist. (Spring of '42). He told me "That I thought the war would be over before I got through basic training". Well, it wasn't. He spent most of the War years at Pearl Harbor, repairing torpedoes. He still tells me about seeing all of the oil leaking out of the ships that were sunk there, and ..other things..that would occasionally float up from the sunken ships.

Yes, he finished High School and then some, after the War was over. He got out of the Navy, but went back in, and retired as a Chief Torpedomen.

Ok gents.....the random number given was 103.

So I do believe the winner is Blues


With a number of 108.

If you would be so kind as to email me your shipping info,I will get it out on Monday.

Thanks to all for your contributions to my little give-away.:thumbup:

It is important to me that while VE Day is no longer remembered, that those who served (at home or overseas) always are.
 
Holy Cow!!! I can't tell you how surprised and lucky I feel. :)

First off, this was a very worthy giveaway in both subject and offer.

And since I normally don't enter these contests in order to let our members have a better chance of winning, I can't tell you what a (pleasant) shock it is to have actually won.

Todd, thank you so much...I'll shoot you an email in a few moments and will proudly carry the knife in remembrance of all those who have valiantly served. :thumbup:

BTW, the knife will be a great companion to this WWII era Imperial that I received as a gift from by buddy Charlie (Waynorth) some time back:
