What's in your military treasure box?

The cheap yet very sharp "survival" knife I was presented when I graduated Jumpmaster School.
The Silver dollars I was presented for the 1st Salute from newly commissioned officers who choose me to receive that honor.
A keychain, dog tag, picture, knife, book and a M4 mag.. Individual items that belonged to individuals who I failed to bring home alive.

my most treasured military possession is the Army of Occupation Medal (AOM). I was stationed in Berlin Germany from shortly before the wall came down thru 1992. While all soldiers who served overseas were awared the overseas ribbon, Berlin was the only assignment that was issuing the AOM. The AOM stopped being issued upon reunification in October 1990. So an extremely small amount of troopers were issued this. Proud and honored to have one and to have been a member of the famed Berlin Brigade.

My berets, awards, reenlistment photos and a large braid of suspension line with a static line wrapped through it. Our NCOs made them for us after 2 days of cutting parachutes out of trees in Ft. Stewart, GA. High winds put over 200 jumpers in the trees. That was fun... (sarcasm)

A picture of a friend, closer than any blood relatives, who's no longer with us and a lei he gave me.

Might sound a little goofy... But, I saved the mini-Tabasco bottles from the MRE's. I'd empty them out while eating, rinse with a little water, and fill 'em up with sand/soil from the places I've been: Iraq, Kuwait, Korea, Thailand, Suribachi, etc. I labelled each one with a little slice of athletic tape (borrowed from our Corpsmen). I'm sure a Customs Agent would have took 'em from me. But, I have a little bit of everywhere I've travelled.

My liberation of Kuwait medal.

I have a WWII enemy aircraft range finder that my dad gave to me and an original picture from the surrender of Japan on the Missouri that my dad took, it shows the actual signing.

Just an ordinary soldier here, no treasures but rather momentos of a proud service to my country.

My service medals and decorations and my fathers Mexican Border Service medal and World War I Victory Medal.

All 37 photo albums covering my 23 years of service (including photos from boot camp when I smuggled a Disc camera in), my currency from all the countries I visited; my original Kevlar helmet,ensign from the Cutter Escanaba, that I took on every other deployment during both Coast Guard and Army careers,my unit patches, my medals, a sword, I bought in a bazaar in Afghanistan and a memorial card with the names of the 14 soldiers, my battalion lost during a two week period in Iraq and lots of other things. My exwife never appreciated the sentimental value but my daughter did, so she'll probably get them when God decides it is time for my extraction.
