I've always said: you can purchase replacement medals and badges, you can purchase new experiences, but you can never purchase your battle buddies

I chose buddies because they became family to me over the years!

Buddies.

I've got buddies who I only talk to once a month, once a year... but I'm back in time like it's only yesterday.

Badges and Medals never saved anyone's life. Battle buddies do.
