Stolen Sword

[Owen]

Good morning,
Below is a link to a story about returning a stolen Naval Aviator's sword 40 years after the fact.
This is a good guy doing the right thing for the right reason. Everyone will enjoy this. If it's in the
wrong section, please move it.

v/r,
Owen

Owen, very cool story!

This is the neat part that moved me:

“I was glad to get a cool sword, but I didn’t know that for $40 I was going to get this kind of experience. Money well spent, if you ask me,” Herrington said.

The only possible better ending would have been for the scumbag thjef to have done the research to locate LT Johnson, flew to PA on own dime, and returned the sword back to the LT with a sincere apology!

Unfortunately, that is a fairy tale...

No shit! But also tune in again next week to follow the thread where AW members are collecting bail bond money and are fighting to get the sword returned.
