My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thank you MAP!
No thanks to me needed. That was the one word that came to my mind. Oft overused by people but 100% appropriate here.
I think most members on this forum, given their love of history and appreciation of the service and sacrifices made by any generation of soldiers would love to do the same given the opportunity.
Thanks
Michael
