I found my lost badge...
 

when I was looking for Christmas DVDs! I've spent a year looking in every old jewelry box, safe deposit boxes, etc, and wouldn't you know it was in a box with some other jewelry from a military move 6 years ago. I'm so pleased that I don't have to buy another one, although I've seen some really nice, really vintage badges online. Wow, it's an early Christmas present to have my badge back in my hand.:D

Congrats!!!

That is so great!

It is great! Thanks for your replies. I can't stop looking at my newly found badge. :)My daughters were saying how small it is compared to theirs.
I found my long lost Christmas DVDs as well. Moving is such fun.....

That's terrific news!
