last night!! Sent me running all through the house to find this stuff and make him a sign. (I wish my parents could have seen him. He was wearing an awful lot of their pins, and Dad's dog tags and peace necklace.)

green one which reads, "We belong to the Earth, the Earth does not belong to us." I thought maybe he would have gone with the flashiness of the yin-yang.

He is definitely growing up!

neat he was willing to do it for Halloween.

I agree that he is handsome. I wish I could get him to smile, but I doubt that will happen until the braces come off.

wore it for the school parade, and everybody wanted to read his pins and dog tags and asked if they were real. (Which they were. Dad was in the Navy. Didn't serve in Viet Nam, but did serve during that time period.) The pins weren't from the 60s. All replicas, except for the newer ones that came out during **'s reign.
