[Milsurplus] Saving stuff

[Steven Syrotynski]

Hello All, I do allot of "listening" on this reflector and allays come 
across allot of good info. Two many times folks just
look at this stuff as just being worth "x" dollars and nothing else. I 
have spoken to allot of "old timers" in this hobby and the one common 
thing i hear is that when they are gone their wish is pretty much that 
their stuff goes to people that will enjoy it the same way they have. I 
will be trying to do the same with what i have acquired as well. It's a 
great thing that people here are very involved in keeping alive the 
history and the memory's of the folks that created all of the things we 
play with here,
Steve
