from: Gail Sherwood Lopez: “I found this souvenir shoe at a yard sale a few years back. 7 in. long. Let us remember all veterans.”
from: Tim Beard: “Happy 238th Birthday to all my U.S. Marine Corps brothers and sisters!…Semper Fi!”
from: Hugh Jones: “If you think you recognize the letterhead art there is a reason its from the Disney Studio. This is from a Richard L Stouffer, CQM, USN USS Jason C.P.O. Quarters July 28 1944. The letter explains the letter head “How do you like our fancy pants stationary? Disney drew it for the ship for the sum of 1 dollar and other considerations. Pretty good for a big concern like his. But then I think that most of the big companies are doing a little for the morale of the service men.” They letter was written to his mother and father in Michigan.”
from: Hugh Jones: “In honor of Veterans day I thought I would share some cool military items Ive picked up. This little piece of wood has the following written on it: German airplane wing fell in my sight on Oct 9 1918, It was found in the envelope pictured under it which post marked by the U.S. Army Postal service Oct 19 1918 and has a censors stamp and appears to be from a Corporal (?) E.S. Pettis (?) (next line unreadable) American E.F. (Expeditionary force) to his wife in Chicago Ill. .”
