Prizes, Language Barriers, and Unreliable Narrators

There's not much to say, really. Israel has something called "Family Day", and BSM's school celebrated by having a fair during school hours. There were mulitiple booths at the fair, all manned by family members of the students. Husbinator and Abba II went, and it seems that there were a few food- or craft-related booths, but most of the tables were some sort of work-related demonstration.

An EMT had a first-aid related booth (with a great hand-washing demonstration wherein one boy dipped his hands in paint, and then all of the boys shook hands, presumably until everyone was covered in paint); a policeman brought a police car (and his M-16, but that wasn't part of the demo; it was just hanging around on the table because it can't be left alone); and a father in the air force brought model planes, model rockets, and some rocket parts (the boys who listened well were given a little prize.)

Here is the little prize that BSM brought home from the air force booth:

Based on the presentation and BSM's description, Husbinator and I could only assume that his "Good Job Listening" prize was locking mechanism for a rocket, similar to a grenade pin.

However, a quick Google search has taught me that "remove before flight" ribbons are a typical part of most flying systems. These tags are attached to components put in place to protect equipment or personnel while flying objects are grounded, so BSM's little souvenir is more likely a plug for an intake valve or something similar.
