"Thanks Dennis. The Roma was almost a daily destination while we were in the rear. Loved the schnitzels as well as going there for a few Falken Golds and shots of Jaegermeister."

John,
This Saber can be found at AtlantaCutlery.com Go to the "Search Bar" and type in U S Dragoons saber and it will pop up. It is not on their regular catalog pages. Cost is $149.95 + S&H
I have done business with them in the past and have found the quality of products to be very good.

I had a triple bipass and an aortic valve replassed with a mechanical valve.\
And I wrote this:
Why Cry Today
Think about the past you feel.
Feel what you're thinking now.
Remember that, that time was real,
and what you know, you realize how.
The dreams were dreamt by words you heard,
by plans you made, with those that cared.
You felt the truth although absurd,
was another time at an age we feared.
But why cry today???
We dream of times that lovers share
of a life we know and love to live.
A life of love with someone there,
forever good or bad, we'd give.
Today I feel the days are turning,
desires feared, this moment brings.
A lesson learned that keeps me going,
and bless the time life made me king.
