The beginning of my story of stacking and collecting

Ok I am going to give this a shot and hope it will be ok so stick with me and enjoy the story..

My story in silver stacking started or collecting actually started by an accident. Let me start at the beginning of this great journey. I served in Desert storm the United States Navy. Yes that's my ship in the Middle of the two battle ships fueling both while at war.

Please stick with me I am trying to make this as short as possible and you will see in just a second how all this ties in to me collecting silver.
Now the medals I earned.

Now we are getting somewhere.
Ok so my brother died a age of 50 a little over 2 years ago it was very unexpected, anyway me " serving in Desert Storm" having PTSD and it was a little over a year after my brother passed but it was the holidays and I was in a very, VERY bad place. I got on youtube and the very first video that popped up was this young man that lived in Las Vegas and he had a Roo coin with him out on the strip "that is why I remembered" anyway he was having a great time and I sat back and started to think hey my brother "Nathan" really liked silver so I watched, I found out that this young mans name on youtube was @pit-bullion and I could not stop watching his videos.

So then I got the privilege in subscribing to all sorts of silver pourers and people who stacked and collected so many very talented people "I would refer to them as master pourers" so many I don't want to try to mention them all but they are ALL amazing at what they do. So ok now back on track ok so @pit-bullion created a web page where you could go and know that the people in there and know they were all legit, and just like that Metal's Mafia was born so you could go there and get amazing pieces of art from all the silver pourers that you knew would be the best.

So I don't have much silver left after everything but this is some of what I have a couple pieces left were my brothers and the rest is what I have gotten over the year.

So I am here to make friends, learn and try to get enough to start making my stack as tall as I am.
@pit-bullion did not know my story or did any of the silver community till now. I think now before this I only told 2 people. Thanks for excepting me and most of all well lets just put it this way sometimes you help somebody and you don't know maybe you never know and all it takes is a hello. Thank you to everybody that know me and I cant wait to meet more.
