Would you have tried to find the signers if you had received it for change?
Yes, I would've tried to find them too. I would've realized what it meant to them. The kids and grandkids would have wanted it, at least I would hope they would, even if there were no living survivors.
I'm surprised you asked. Do you presume that I'm that petty of a person to have valued the Silver Certificate that much over its sentimental value as to keep it. Some things have an eternal non-monetary value to them. Keepsakes are called keepsakes for a reason.
If I've given that impression then know that I'm not like that.

No, I wasn't assuming that at all, it was a hypothetical question..... I would have done the exact same as this woman. I didn't mean to offend you. Merry Christmas!

In the true spirit of the holidays, Mary Miles found the heroes and became a hero too. Holiday bumps.

My apologies, I took your hypothetical as literal.
Merry Christmas!
And to you and yours also.

“ The Commitment of our Fathers is Now the Calling of our Time “ We are here in the middle hour of our grief.
So many have suffered so great a loss, and today
we express our nation's sorrow. We come before God
to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who love them.

Merry Christmas to you too!

You never know. This may be the year you find out if there really IS a Santa Claus! If he hasn't got one for you, you can pick them up CHEAP at Best Buy or CompUSA; you don't need anything fancy at all; less than $100!
