One of the junior members of the group whipped out his 82d ABN DIV coin from his company commander days. All kinds of coins hit the table and a knew I was being set up since I had made it clear I no longer carried any Army coins. I acted worried at first and then reached into my wallet and pulled out my Scoutmaster's coin! Everyone agreed that it was a most worthy substitute, I enjoyed a 24 oz Sam Adams and the junior member of the group learned to not mess with the old dogs!
