[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 4243324, member: 38658"] Thanks. I just couldn't make me change anything on it. It came off his arm, into a drawer. I would take it out a million times because as a kid, it was such a big thing. I would mention the watch to my brother every time he'd be in on leave for a few tours, but he said it was mine and that was that. The band wore completly apart and like I said it wasn't working and was stopped durring a time where he was at was nearly over ran and he and the rest were retreating as fast as they could just getting to where there was more firepower. He didn't get any awards or do anything special. He, just like his buddies were scared kids running for their lives. He had jumped in a hole and must have banged the watch because it stopped, as best he could guess, was right then. He noticed that morning and was sure it was the reason they were able to get inside the wire. He never tried to change the time so neither did I. That's why he wore two watches. He knew not to mess with a good luck charm. It's the same shape as it was when it was given to me except I had cleaned the outside. I think the watch and the story would be cool to be passed down to others in our family and maybe remember a war long ago fought by a bunch of kids, like all wars. [/QUOTE]
