Really tugs at your heart strings..........

Very sobering to read of these men.....their sacrifice. It is good that a Purple Heart, a mere symbol, will be carried on in the future by us and all appreciative people who will remember the past and future generations...... -
Tom the Bookkeeper is always an interesting read! Thanks for this information that you will not find in any book ie. "Call of Duty"

Outstanding grouping. The U-219 was a XB boat [minelaying] only a handful was made. This boat had either the twin or quad 20mm anti-aircraft guns. [deadly] Many a P-47 pilot was lost to these guns! -
:pinch: Very suspicous: enough for me to stay away.....

All done. Finished at $1500.00 Nice round figure..........

Tom, I knew you would have some records and input on this #DFC. We will have to call you the "bookkeeper" from now on....btw, you would think a low numbered DFC like this would have a name to go along with it. Gary

$1009 and counting.........

Thanks, Kurt, page 157 "The Call of Duty" book. T never knew what this particular medal was worth because I`ve never seen one for sale! I`ll keep a hawk eye on this one....Gary

:w00t: This is on E-Bay now along with some other great medals. RED54GDA is the seller. Is he from this foum? $750.00 is the going price. Love to have that one! Gary

:w00t: Jack, doesn`t get much better. Intoxicating liquor.....isn`t all liquor intoxicating? My uncle was the recipient of the Silver Star [i own now] in the Korean War. He was busted at one point for telling an officer where to go.......nobody is perfect! Gary
