This is a GREAT 11 minute video! Gotta watch it! It gets a bit sad in the middle, but totally worth it.

About 2 years ago, my inlaws were in Europe. After visiting Belgium, they bought for me a ceramic helmet. They said this is how they drank beer there, but had no idea why. Well, now I know the rest of story

Vincent during WWII. A photo he pulled from his wallet to show me.






A photo he took of the Airborne Beer and helmet mug when he first saw them (also from his wallet). He as about the beer, they told him the story, he said that was me. The didn't really know the story was completely true till Vincent told them more. Then they said "You are famous"!

Zookiemonster! I love it! Of course you have met the man. What was I thinking?? That's like 1 connection away from a celebrity. And that's the same bowl helmet that I have.
