Odd items end up in strange places

My F-I-L was a navigator in the AF SOF aircraft. When their unit rotated out of VN at the end of the war somehow the big brass bell that was outside/in the Officer's Club ended up in his possession.

Its been hanging ouside in my in-laws back yard ever since. It has the unit and club, IIRC, ingraved on it. He passed away a couple of years ago. I'll keep my eye on it. Never know, one of those FL SOW units might like it for old times sake.
