I was stationed on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 in 1972-73 in the Gulf of Tonkin (Vietnam) and these are a couple things I brought home. The clock still works and keeps perfect time. Of course, I had the lucky number 13 badge as if being a policeman wasn't bad enough. There were 15 of us to keep watch over 5,000 men. I could tell some stories but they would be as I remember them and not necessarily as they actually happened.
My wife does all the driving, I just hold the steering wheel!
both great pieces and i bet they remind you of many memories too! Thank very much for your service to our country

I've still got my old Army MP badge too. It seems the stories are like fine wine...they get better with age.

About once every 5 years I'll pull out my old Marine Corps box and the memories just get refreshed. Thanks for your service.n
