A week ago today, a very dear friend and member of my church passed away. An Air Force Veteran who served in the Korean War, we shared a love of our respective families, our country, hunting and firearms. He was a shut-in and I visited him regularly. Our visits usually included some kind of gun-related discussion. I always brought my latest acquisition to him to inspect (I had standing permission to do this - his wife appreciated that it would make him smile) and he was the first person to see my Garand when it arrived on Veterans' Day, 2009.
I had the honor of conducting his funeral Wednesday and of playing Taps.
As a measure of thanks, the family gave me $200. As our shared passion was firearms I thought I would use this to buy something to remember him.
If you had this budget and wanted a little something, what might you get? I might have a little extra scratch to throw in, but lets say still under $250. I have my eye on several Blackhawks on GB and AA, all sitting right now below that mark (they will go up, I know) - he was a single-action guy and it would definitely fit his memory. Any other thoughts? What might you try to find with this budget as a token of memory of a dear friend?
