What a treasure!! I would have loved something like that to look back at time and time again as it is I just have photos to look at without a story attached. My Dad was a teenager in Europe when WWII broke out and after the war his family came to the USA. He is now 91 years old and has dementia and even though I gave both my parents journals to write their stories in - they never did it and now it's too late........<br />I love your store and your blog - keep up the great work!!mterry90805https://www.blogger.com/profile/12219626077126899434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2926212489650811145.post-57543593671432167062012-01-29T09:46:42.910-08:002012-01-29T09:46:42.910-08:00Great story Sue and what a wonderful collection of...Great story Sue and what a wonderful collection of letters and hankies!

(Or my dad's mother, at least.)<br />Our greatest "war collctibles" are old phonograph records. Instead of sending a letter home on occasion the GIs could record a message onto a disc. <br />Even if you find another container, I would keep the original cookie box with the hankies and letters.Laura S Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812735660993028271noreply@blogger.com
