Jimmy it's a beautiful knife. If you are now retired....God Bless You and thank you for your service. As for the beaches at Normandy, I've been there and it is an awesome experience. My goal is to take my kids there now and let them see what kids their age did to save the world! I really hope you get to go.
I haven't been to Ireland but that's where my Mom's family came from. My daughter studied in Ireland 3 years ago and fell in love with the country. She wants to have a dual citizenship. I just want to get all that studying paid for.
