Jeremy, when I was a kid, I grew up playing with my Dad's Navy dress sword and a piece of a tail-hook that had broken off of a jet that had landed on my Dad's carrier (the U.S.S. Independance). He flew an A-4. I still have it (it is very similar to your new sword), as well as other keepsakes from my Dad's days in the Navy. He's passed on now, but the keepsakes are so valuable to me. My Dad's Navy mug reads "King Tut" in gold on it. I use it for my morning cup of coffee much of the time. It took me many, many years to finally assume the family nick name of Tutt after he left. I spell it with two "T's" as I'm the second one. I'm sure your son will treasure that sword very much some day.
Also, when I was a school psychologist intern for Oceanside Unified School District, Stuart-Mesa Elementary School (pardon the misspelling if any) was one of the schools I regularly worked at. I will never forget the science fair day when various helicopters were landing on the grassy yard out back for the kids to crawl through later. This was circa 2002 or so. What a special day that was.
I'm sure looking forward to meeting you at the SoCal Reunion, my friend.

Old No7 Ordered it from the Marlow White Co. in Leavenworth, Ks.
They must of had it in stock because I think they shiped it a day or two after he ordered it.
And yes it is worn on your left carried in your right hand.

Jeremy, if its the same principal as I had, and I hope it is, he is one of the youngest principals in Oceanside. He applied for a job as VP, and they told him "no", but they would like him to be the principal! Hoping he is still there. Yes, it is a great school!
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see the pics in your dress uniform as well!
I was worried I was going to miss these pics today. I am traveling on business, and normally the site is blocked from the Charlotte airport. I tried and it wasn't this morning - must be fate!!!
Jeremy, you deserve this. Thank you for your service to our wonderful country!!!
Thank you very much for your service to our country. That is a very nice sword. I am very sorry that I did not have the money at the time to contribute to the cause. I hope that with my next job I will be able to do that.
Jeremy,
I have more respect for you and your like fellow soldiers than I have for ANY sports player, or for that matter, you boys are at the top of my list.
Funny thing, I went to my aunts funeral yesterday and while there, I was talking to my Uncle Joe, who I have not seen in some time. He was on the landing on the beach during D-Day. He spent 3 days buried in the rubble of a wall that fell on him. I thanked him for his service to our great nation to which he replied, "Well Jack, we sure are having nice weather today." I did not push it.
That is real nice. Thanks again for your service and to everyone here for standing up and recognizing your contribution to our great country. No sword fighting now. 1886.
Game Keeper that is what brothers do help each other out of tight spots. I have had dealings with the Royal Army and Her Magistys Marines all a good group of warriors I would fight with you all and the Ozzies any where. I hope your country shows the same support to your troops as you fine people do for their American counter parts.

Actually, it would probably need a little grinder time before he could use it to give a Jihaadi a "shave"....

Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat . . . . Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.
