LTC Pogue's uniform just sold at auction for a little more than 2k USD. I was in it till the end then backed off as it hit my limit. Still, a good deal.

The auctioneer told me the story. LTC Pogue passed away in Coco Beach. He had a storage unit that his family didn't know about so didn't keep up on the rental fees. The unit's contents were auctioned off and the buyer approached the auction house for appraisal and sale.

Pretty wild that there are still treasures like this out there.
