Wow! Good to see you get good stuff, Bernie, because you certainly deserve it. Many thanks to you and to all who serve(d) their country.
Many thanks also to Guy. Not only has he put a huge grin on my face with his kindness, but he has given me many ideas and inspirations regarding arrow making.
This place just gets better and better. Speaking of which, Bern, I hope you are making great strides. Killdeer

I'm sure glad you like them, Bernie. They were a lot of fun to make. There are a lot of vets who deserve something like this but you're the one who actually gets to hold them in honor of all those others. Many thanks to to Killdeer and Dano for their assistance in getting these to you. I couldn't have done it without their help. And thanks to everyone for your kind comments.

Thank all of you for the kind comments and sincere shared pleasure. Also thanks to my dear friends, Killie and Dano for providing Guy with the necessary info to carry out his generous and thoughtful deed. I will never look at these arrows without recalling all of this.
I DO think I am making steady, progress with recuperation and healing , Killie. I start "Follow-up" appointments tomorrow, and should know more soon after that. Actually ate my first "real" full meal last night - Rose's homemade Chicken and dumplings w/garden-fresh sliced tomatoes - yummy! Wish I could have shared that with all of you too - LOL
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY - BE SAFE OUT THERE!
I hope to get a couple of pics up later today showing the visual impact of the two black fletches, and a close up of the shaft's MC emblem perhaps.
