She is a correctional officer that finally accepted Sergeant rank. I cut off the embroidered chevrons from my ancient field jacket collar and presented it to her.

My mom, who was thrilled when I made Buck Sergeant in the First Cav has the other one tucked under her lapel in her coffin.

So, that field jacket has become... attenuated of meaning. Perhaps just as I have. Probably something philosophical there, but as a southern redneck I'm not supposed to notice things like that.

Still, she rates a spot.
