Used spokes?

I'm new here..nice forum!

Would you keep these spokes for future builds?

1. ~10 years ago, I had this wheel built for me - I've ridden every mile of usage
2. The wheel suffered a rim failure - it cracked at a nipple eyelet w/o trauma.
3. It has been 20K miles w/o breaking a spoke.

Do I save these SS spokes/brass nipples? The high mileage worries me. Any experienced advice appreciated. It's only ~$40, but it would be a shame to waste them.

Like I said, nice forum!
