On the inside of my dad's 'Cruise Book' from his time in the US Navy aboard the USS Valley Forge 45 was a $2.00 Silver Certificate Bill held in place with those lick and stick corner things.

Dad said it was about all that was left of his first Navy Pay when he got out of Boot Camp. He was very proud that he'd held onto all those years. He was Honorably Discharged in 1952--he passed in 1999.

After he passed I dug the cruise book out and some SOB had taken that bill!
