History
Given to me by wife of Shrabel Williams, formerly of the 82nd Airborne Div. She said, "A movie about the 82st Airborne Div was made, with a scene in a German pub, where Charlton Heston drinks from this tankard. Ms. (Wanda) Williams and Shrabel visited the actual pub. The pub owner, smitten by her, presented her with this owl tankard.
