Description
Excerpt from More Dangerous Thoughts
My duties ranged all the way from running errands free of charge for government agencies, to hissing slackers and sus pected slackers. The medal, which they assured me was made from the steel of a captured German cannon, had a blank space for the engraving of my name. But they didn''t trouble them selves to engrave it. They just handed it to me and said I could have it engraved myself - which I never managed to get the money to do. It was always a source of chagrin to me and I once tried to scratch my name on it with a nail, but the metal was too hard. There wasn''t even a ribbon on it - just a hole where one might go. I borrowed a red one from my mother, sewed it to an old clasp pin, and it looked all right from a distance.
