Current Goal

I could very well be the most incompetent soldier in history. I received my orders over 57 years ago and still cannot seem to find my way to Normandy. I'm sure I'm a little late but I must complete my mission. Can you help me?

About This Item

The Mission Begins...

Over 57 years ago my unit was ordered to participate in the assault at Normandy. During a training exercise I got separated from my unit and have spent the last 57 years trying to complete my mission -- most of that time held prisoner in a giant toybox. I am free now and need to complete my mission. Can you help me get to Normandy and take a picture of me there so I can prove to my superiors I completed my mission? Also when I am stationed with you be sure to take a picture of me and send it back to HQ so my superiors know where I am. Once my mission is complete I would like to tour Europe for a month or two and then return to my home base in Olathe, Kansas to spend time with my family.


Updates:

4/11/02 - Little Lost Army Guy is MIA... possibly KIA but hopefully not. We are holding out hope that he will be found and able to resume his mission.

11/15/01 - Wait a second... what am I doing back in Olathe?

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

Nachdem ich jetzt mal meine Listen und Fotos von Events und Cachetagen zusammen gepackt und geordnet habe, entdeckte ich noch den einen oder anderen nicht discoverten TB/Coin. Dies hol ich hiermit dann nach.

Weiterhin gute Reise. Vielen Dank an alle Owner und Transporteure für's Zeigen und Reisen lassen!

Ok, in real life I do not have it... it disappeared from Wildwood shortly after being placed there. I'm logging it as being back in my hands so that it won't be listed on the cache page anymore.
