Looking at the packaging, I thought that Jason had sent me a t-shirt. After opening it, I was more than pleasently surprised. Opening the package, the smell of OD green canvas hit my nose - a smell of nostalgia for a veteran.

I received a WWII First Aid Kit, as would have been carried by a Soldier in the field. This present struck home in two ways: I've been in the Army for 13 years and have developed an appreciation for militaria, and as a history buff (BA and MA in History) I love the historical significance of the present.

I've attached two pictures of the present, one of just Jason's gift, and another contrasting it with what a Soldier carries in the present day (IFAK: Individual First Aid Kit).

Thanks, Jason! You're present was awesome and I love it! Happy holidays!
