<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 46611, member: 37"]Definitely a grave marker. It is an older one but couldn't tell you how old. Had a similar one I listed on ebay and was contacted by a Veteran to take it down before he reported it as stolen merchandise. Urged me to turn it over to a local VFW. Don't know if there was any teeth to the threat but I did take it down. </p><p><br /></p><p>I later gave it to a military collector for his collection since I was not sure that the local VFW wanted or had a use for it. The collector was a VFW member and he did not know what the organization would have done with it had they received it. There was no guarantee that one of them wouldn't have just taken it home. I didn't want to sell it in case it had been stolen and really didn't know what to do with it. I felt if it was in a veteran's collection, that it was in better hands and not being profited from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
