Since the Winter Olympics have started, I thought I'd share some Olympic memorabilia I have.
My brother was in the Army and stationed in Germany in 1976 and attended the Winter Olympics in nearby Innsbruck, Austria.
He brought me back this cool beanie....



It's 42 years old and STILL holding up.....

@MrWalkSoftly: that's cool. My family went to the Olympics when they were in Atlanta.
We had to leave after a couple days though.
The day after we left was the Olympic park bombing by Eric Rudolph.
10 years later, when he was captured i was at the federal building as he was arraigned in my hometown.

@Roachvaliek: I knew someone at the Olympics in Atlanta when that happened. Luckily they wasn't injured or amywhere near the bomb as far as I can remember. I was a youngin, but it was one of the first scary moment in the US that I remember.
