Soldier Says 90 Years of Duty Enough For Anyone
Doughboy To Take Less Active Role in Service
Date Line: Iowa. After spending most of the past century guarding a share of America's treasure, this WWI doughboy decided enough was enough. In a surprise move, he announced his retirement as drodda777 and Dr. Ace were detecting his turf. He realized he was no longer a match for the 'new-fangled' Minelab E-Trac machines, and duly surrendered his post shortly after his prize 1909 wheat cent was liberated. Witnesses were stunned at the sudden turn of events.
'Once I knew my charge was in safe hands, I felt my services to my country were no longer critical, and I accepted a less rigorous role,' said the doughboy. Asked how he felt after serving for so long, he replied, 'My legs feel like lead'.
Although relieved from his service in the foxhole that he endured for the past many years, he will continue to play a vital role in security. He has been elevated to a new role - that of guarding an ever growing private collection.
