It is our 45th wedding anniversary today. I managed to marry a woman tough enough to put up with me and become mother to both a minister and a Marine! Still have the watch in the photo below which I had in high school years before our wedding day. Ugly as it is it still runs despite not having been serviced in 40 years.
This is a doubly important day in our house.
United States Marine Corps birthday. Yea!
Though I didn't serve, we're big Marine fans here. Our youngest son has been in since 2009 with three deployments including two in Afghanistan .
He's currently in Marine Corps Reserve. He was in Quantico a couple of weeks ago and paid his respects to another Marine hero while in the area.

·This was my very first Bulova Accutron Astronaut purchase about 12 years ago or so. At the time of purchase, I didn't know who the seller was but after we completed the purchase we began to chat and exchanged several emails. Turns out he was a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot who bought this watch about 1967+-. Later he switched to the US Air Force and became a pilot (We both served in the US Air Force at about the same time). As you can see from the attached pics, he became a very accomplished pilot flying U2 Spy Planes for about 12+- years. After he retired from that he became a commercial airline pilot and flew till about 2006. Both he and I worked for the same airline. He has also written a book about his experience flying the U2 Dragon Lady. This is one of my favorite watches as it has a documented back story that is quite unique.

··Home For Wayward WatchesThank you for taking the time to share this. Congratulations on your 45th anniversary! My wife and I just celebrated our tenth last month 😀 Do you by chance know the watch your son is wearing in the second image?
10th! go Scarecrow Boat (s)!
Hamilton field model with full numeral markers with date feature at 3 and the day window at 12, fully spelled out. I think he's had it since his last Afghanistan deployment in 2013.
