<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4679629, member: 77639&quot;]I wonder if my late in-laws might have used them.&nbsp; He was in the Coast Guard in WWII.&nbsp; Mostly involved in convoying freighters and troop ships across the Atlantic, but also drove a landing boat on D-day.&nbsp; After VE day, he was moved San Francisco.&nbsp; When VJ was declared, there was a huge celebration on Market Street.&nbsp; Somehow he received a big gash from broken glass (never heard the details) and was put in the hospital&nbsp; in the Presidio.&nbsp; One of his nurses there was his future wife.&nbsp; Ironic that he survived the war in the Atlantic and D-day only to be injured in a victory celebration.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t get a purple heart for that.&nbsp; One of the nicest people I&#039;ve met.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
