65 Cents

It's numbing to think, in any given week of his WWII army life, what my dad could've bought at the PX for a measly 65 cents. And for all I know he did, read 'em and tossed 'em. Of course I know that some weeks he might've been tied up, what with combat and all.

Still, geez, 65 cents.

And what will our children wish that we had bought and held?

Hmm, yeah. I bet it'll be that Wonder Woman thing with the new costume. It'll prolly be rare since nobody gives a fig for it now.
