Message:: [QUOTE="Coinman1974, post: 857780, member: 12193"]Hello everyone,  First I do hope this is not against CT policy. I did look over the rules and did not see anything prohibiting it, please let me know if I am mistaken.  In a previous thread there was a discussion between myself and another service member. Quite a funny chat I might add. So now I am wondering who else amongst us has served, or knew a collector who served? I ask this as it seems the longer I am in this wonderful hobby the more veterans I seem to be bumping into.  I am going to to post a lil bio of my time in the service, one that brings back many fond memories.  I enlisted in 1992, only 17, which seems like a lifetime ago. How that happened is a long funny story,for another time. Yes vets can be windy huh. I was a reservist and loved what I did so at 19 I went on Active duty, which took me alot of great places Belgium, Westpoint NY, and Germany, just to name a few.  Along the way I met some amazing people, Many, sadly I have lost contact with. The few I have managed to keep in contact with, or meet up with again are friends for life.  Along my travels the Coin bug did hit me, I was in Germany and seen some older German Coins, from the WWII era, and had the swastika on them. I found them intriguing, as I have always enjoyed history. I did not research them, or start collecting until leaving the service, as like many, I had no clue where to go to start. A great friend, a civilian, pointed me in the right direction. That was almost 10 years ago. Since then I have watched alot of documentaries on WWII, Rome, etc, and  have learned so much more then I thought possible.  This wonderful hobby has brought me so much, and the fact that I keep bumping into other veterans I am wondering who else is out there that served and also collects? Kind regards, Stan[/QUOTE]
