OK, my son just read my post re the Toronto Maple Leafs and was delighted to correct both my math and my date. So to clear things up ... before I get cross-checked by a hockey fan ...

On Monday night, Matt Sundin scored his 1000th point, not his 6000th. My son tells me no-one has ever scored 6000 points in the NHL, not even the Great One (Wayne Gretsky).

Sheesh and I was watching the game too! The Leafs beat Edmonton 3-1 that night - maybe it was my excitement or something.

Thanks Steve for the information/pictures re the Vietnam vets, and to all for your insights!
