ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
One of my MOST PRIZED possessions is a Horrors of War Set that I acquired from a WWII Marine named Don Puff who "earned" his Purple-Heart on Iwo Jima. (He said "the Guys HATED the Purple Heart.")
He started building this set when he was a punk-ass kid (his words, not mine!) in 1938 and set it aside...
Later, he lied about his age in order to enlist in WWII.
Fast forward many years... He kept the set, but could NEVER bring himself to finish it because he refused to pay for the missing High Numbers, especially the Hitler cards...
He sold me the set on the promise that I finish it and keep it intact, which I have done! I have NEVER upgraded ANY of his original cards!
We cannot imagine what our Servicemen & women go through. We cannot thank them enough!
