“Putting the date and your name or initials on something gives it a place in time. Sometime down the road, it may become a cherished keepsake—something that connects generations and holds meaning far beyond its original purpose.” -Colonel
Colonel: I’d picked up some antique piece of some kind. And it had somebody’s initials on it and it had the date on it. And that kind of struck me with the fact that, when the dates on it then all of a sudden, you can tell more about it because you know… Let’s just say it was your grandfather or great-grandfather – and it was like a little match safe it had his initials on it. Well, you just know it belonged to him but if the date was 1915 then you know all of a sudden it puts it in a place and time. So then all of a sudden the date just brings it closer home I think.
