Turns out I'm hanging in an art gallery - an idea for fellow vets.

Over a year ago my older daughter started asking a lot of questions about my military service, even asked for a copy of my DD-214.

Then a while later she invited me to meet her at an art gallery in Mt. Airy, NC. And there she shows me this:

She had 3 made for herself and my other two children.

They apparently couldn't find any Spec 6 patches so they had to improvise.

I visited her this past weekend. And she told me the guy she had do this still has mine displayed in the gallery - basically as advertisement. So, I'm hanging out in an art gallery.

Thanks for your service! I know that freedom is not free.

That is a really nice display. Now I know what your avatar is too.

Best to you sir.

I am no longer hanging in the art gallery.

My older daughter came up today and brought me the display. The gallery guy protested for sure - it was his advertising.

Of course, Mom took immediate possession of it, so it's in her office. It's kinda heavy for my walls anyway, and it makes Mom happy.
