This caught my eye this morning. From what I can find Veterine is from the Latin and means beast of burden. I suppose this is a fubar and the word veteran was supposed to be inscribed. Any other thoughts?

Very cool lighter Bob. I think the fubar theory is a good one.

Either the engraver or the individual who commissioned the engraving, was spelling challenged.

I agree.

Well, according to one of the online translation services, "veterine" in Bosnian means veterinary services. I'm sure that's what was intended.
