Quote: Like you, I'm from a long line of military men.
My Dad's family can trace their service back to the US Revolutionary War but my Mom's folks emigrated here just before WW I, so are relative new-comers to the USA. Between my wife and myself, we figured that we have blood from: Russia, France, & Sweden on her side and Germany, Holland, England, and a little Blackfoot Indian on mine... quite a collection!
My older brother was a highly decorated helo pilot in Vietnam. He won a silver star for medi-vac-ing some wounded Marines from an LZ that was so hot, no other helo pilots would go in there. When he got back to base, his helo had more than 100 bullet holes in it and his co-pilot was wounded in the leg. He was cut by flying glass from the bullet holes in the canopy but they were superficial wounds. You can bet that had be been a beer drinker he would not have ever had to buy another beer in-country after that. Marines may have their problems but ingratitude isn't one of them!
Same here, SB. 20 oz. of silver is my personal best, single day haul. I have this teeny tiny, pathetically small piece of .25 gold that constitutes all the AU I've ever owned; in coin form, anyway. I dream of the day I can buy a full 1 oz. honey coin. May have to trade in some AG to get it done.
My biggest order was for 200 oz. of SilverTowne 5-oz. bars that I sent in via my wife's laptop PC while we were on vacation last Sept. There was a dip in price then and I was buying the dips.
I'm sure that there are others on here who do more than that on a routine basis.
