<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7784003, member: 100459"]When my father came back from Vietnam, he had to be medivac due to the injuries he sustained from a mortar. (He already had a Purple Heart from his wounds in WW II, and then another from the Korean War.) Due to his injuries, he was in constant pain. He used to hide his coins in his empty medicine bottles. After he passed, my brother and I were cleaning up his bedroom and found a bunch of prescription bottles of Oxycodine. We thought we had hit the jackpot because of the street value of Oxycodone. My mother found out that we had the bottles, and after a severe scolding, she opened the bottles. We thought we were going to get a bunch of money from the medicine bottles, but when my mother opened the bottles, they were filled with IHCs. We knew he collected coins and we were supposed to get the coins, but what we found was unbelievable. Although the IHCs were MS, we still enjoyed looking through all of them. (No Flying Eagles, tho.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
