I just wanted to share some of the items that have, little by little, been sent to me the last month from my big sister Nila.

Our Father passed away this past August 26th and it's been a chore handling his estate, for the most part is in Pearl River, Louisiana.

My sister is the Executor of his estate and has been passing many personal effects of my father's to me. But what I received Saturday blew my doors off.

I never got to meet my Grandfather, he passed about 4 years before I was born. My father still had quite a bit of his personal items and keepsakes, most of which I had no clue existed.

Hope you enjoy some of the cool stuff that has now become mine 🙂

For Clarification purposes, these were claimed during the war overseas, thus the separated ribbon and stray threads. Need not say any more...

Awesome stuff William....he probably shot those German soldiers 

My grandfather had a sword and flag from a Japanese soldier he got with a grenade..

Do not get me wrong--this post is very--well--considering--a tribute to Vets. 
This one has to end here because of the content involved.
William and I have talked and we both agree.
No further posts are needed or desired.
Let’s let this one lay here and call it quits.
I have a Vet as a Daughter--three Tours-- a brother who just died--three tours---what a drag and what a stress for Mother, Father and Brother/Sister in law amongst others.
There are rewards in Victory--but many more sad stories that we cannot call here.
I support all Vets--I am sure that we all do here.
Let this one be the last post --please!!
Marble--On!!
