Thanks. I'll e-mail him with the story.

I always wondered, Wife said BJU meant Beach Jumper Unit, but he never talked about anything but liberties he enjoyed. I'm the black sheep, I smoke, drink coffee, drink adult beverages. He and I got crossways on a regular basis.

The family would never show me his medals. When we buried him, I stood at attention, and was shamed for it. But, they were folding the flag to give to his widow.

The picture just reminded me of his stories about going on libery, driving boats.

They seem to use the "Comedy/Tragedy" masks as a theme, whcih COULD indicate "Positive/Negative" aspects... anyway, they have lots of pictures of patches, crests, etc... for the various BJUs, and also someone there may recognize what you have described... :0)
