I think it is a wonderful story, and may I suggest it is the kind of information you will want to document and keep with the Luger.

One of my late uncles was in the Pacific Theater during WWII and I am afraid I did not fare nearly as well as you with the Luger.

I have the curved tusk of a wild pig that was worn through a hole in the nose of one of the aboriginal people who lived either on Guadalcanal, or Saipan. He was also at Tarawa, but there were no aboriginal peoples there. And even though it is only a pig tusk, it means a lot to me, since my uncle survived some terrible wounds and did bring it back with him.

These old warriors are all dying off now and we owe it to them to preserve whatever histories have been passed down to us. As family members, we are the custodians of their memories. God bless them all.
