Hey Pirate thanks for being real ... The most honest and reputable guy on KZbin ... You’ve shown us how to take $3.00 and a dream and how a great work ethic can make your dreams happen ...

The family that just let this stuff go couldn't have thought or maybe really didn't care that this was this mans legacy in the trunks. And WHAT A LEGACY! He was a athlete and a Vet. He had many medals and just the evidence of an amazing life of accomplishments. Makes me wonder if the family isn't really able or who knows but this is stuff that should have been heralded. IMHO.

[@puppyeyes9368]

If his family is watching they know a real loss. This man appears to have been a real hero. A life time of service to our country. It's a shame his family didn't get his life in boxes. The stamps are extremely valuable. I wonder if he wasn't collecting for his descendents. God bless.

[@MooreCEJr]

This was a US miliatry officer you had Lieutenant, Captain, and Major ranks in the trunk along with many service ribbons, and patches. Fun Fact: White sash with the red arrow is called the Arrow of Light; the highest award given in Boy Scouts; rarely achieved by most.

[@jodysbabiie25]

No it's a sash for order of the arrow. The honor society of boyscouts. Arrow of light is what you get when you cross from cub scouts to boyscouts

[@MooreCEJr]

@@jodysbabiie25 It was called the arrow of light when I was in Boyscouts, but you are right as I seen it has changed over the years.

[@nickrichards7746]

as a military vet my self, from a family of long military history, i hop you at least tried to contact the family and ask if they want the military metals. thats history that if posable should stay with the family. I know that its your money and now your stuff but still

[@MyOwnWaySreejith]

Exactly what I thought... For family, those stuff means more than money....

[@kamikazitsunami]

Morality over money, people over profit.

[@2beesfarmstead819]

Yea the owner seemed like he lived a great life. Military service, Greatest Dad, travel. It would be cool to contact his family. Those patches and medals really have no value beyond sentimental.

[@CollectorsCorner777]

Medals* you'd think a vet would know the difference. Also, no. If you found civil war medals you wouldn't try tracking the family down would you? If you're going into this with feelings then you'll lose.

The white sash with red arrow is an “Order of the Arrow” Boy Scout merit. Not many scouts achieve it.

I remember my father being tapped out.

[@j.c.aguiar2126]

I was an assistant scout master when my son was a member. I think the whole time I was there (most of a decade) I think maybe 4 boys got it, my son just missed getting tapped. I think if he'd stayed in it one more year he'd have gotten it.

[@xaivier84_____91]

I was in it also but they used us like child labor to help fix the camp for the weekend. Weren't allowed to talk, still did. I did learn that you can boil an egg in a paper cup though.

He went from a Boy Scout all the way to a Major {at a minimum} in the Armed Forces. Each little pin on the service bar, as I remember, 4 years and so on. He served a very long time. I hope he got to come home and retire.

on the other hand, it is good to know that another person can enjoy another person's trash

[@wendydisanto]

I think it's cool. His own family didn't care about his things and because of that I was able to enjoy the treasures and history that was unveiled. Sad on one hand, but exciting for treasure hunters on the other. I'm pretty sure the previous owner could care less at this point. Who knows maybe he's watching and is happy his treasures are seeing the light of day again.

[@lukeg2171]

It is sad in a way for sure, but better that his stuff is looked at and enjoyed again instead of just being completely thrown away

[@TheFoolintherainn]

@@amaya_otaku_pro4135 It's not a matter of "blaming" anyone? We're talking about respect. They're going at it like vultures. Absolutely no respect, no intellectual curiosity, no acknowledgement of the person who owned and earned this stuff? Just.... tacky. Classless. Joking about the deceased on drugs cuz he finds Benadryl? But if it has to be explained...? Not sure it'll be understood. You're either born with respect & class, or not. "Class" and respect have nothing to do with money.
