re: What is the ONE coolest thing you own?

My father served on the USS Enterprise CV6 and was on board during a kamikaze attack in 1945. We have a piece of a wing strut from the plane that was piloted by Lieutenant (junior grade) Shunsuke Tomiyasu. The pilot dove down through heavy anti-aircraft fire and inverted his plane as he flew into the Enterprise thereby blowing up an aircraft elevator. If you look at the picture, the elevator can clearly be seen 400 ft. up in the air at the top of the flames.
