That was probably FTB, with long hair and a long beard.

Still trying to rig something to hang off that stupid ring. I guess some kind of clip would have been too simple.

Use a small key ring. You probably have an extra one around. I did. Works well.

That's what I did. Went to the junk drawer, rummaged around. Found a bunch of cool junk I forgot about before I found a key ring.

Funny thing was, there were like 5 little partial boxes of birthday candles in there...

I'm not a lanyard guy, all I did was clip my ID to the ring instead of my shirt pocket. Worked great.

Chris Kyle wore this on his chest because he earned it:

•2 Silver Stars with Combat Valor
•5 Bronze Stars with Combat Valor
•Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat Valor...
•2 Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals with Combat Valor
•2 Combat Action Ribbons
•Navy Presidential Unit Citation
•Joint Meritorious Unit Award
•Navy Unit Commendation
•Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation
•Navy Good Conduct Medal with 2 Service Star
•National Defense Service Medal
•Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
• Iraq Campaign Medal with 4 Campaign Stars
•Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal
•Global War on Terrorism Service Medal
•Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with 3 Service Stars
•Rifle Marksmanship Medal
•Pistol Marksmanship Medal
• United States Navy SEALs Insignia

I'd never equate me to this great American Hero, but he dedicated himself to a life of service and sacrifice and wore his medals boldly and humbly. Then he took the baton for the next generation. What are you willing to wear on your neck because YOU earned it? Risk vs. Reward is a daily wager with our job, and it's time we balance the equation!
