"He wasn't the kind of man to cry, but I think he would've shed a tear when he heard that he was getting his lighter back," Theresa said about her late husband.
"He said the reason he re-enlisted was because he didn't get shot the first time," Theresa shared, highlighting her husband Paul's dedication as a Vietnam veteran.
"I remember Paul talking about that lighter and he always wondered what happened to it," Theresa recalled, emphasizing the significance of the lighter in their family history.
"He didn't realize his lighter didn't make the trip with him - and tragically died of a heart attack without ever knowing where the prized possession ended up," reflecting on the bittersweet story.
