WWII souvenirs

[pvreb]

I have a number of WWII souvenirs that might be of interest to some group. These include a uniform that belonged to an uncle lost in a submarine; a couple of books, one of various pictures of sea battles, another about the history of the Seabees (my dad was a Seabee); a Seabee pillow; and probably a few other odds and ends. Does anyone know of an organization that might like to have these?

Try your local VFW, or NOSC Phoenix.

Nostalgic items like that can't be bought, they will preserve and appreciate them.

My Father was in a Mash unit in WWII. He was a front line medic.
He was in Africa , Rhineland , Germany (Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge ) Europe and Czechoslovakia.
He sent home hundreds of letters.
My brother sorted them out and made a book.
He couldn't put all the letters in the book , but got the ones he thought told the story.
It starts in boot camp and goes all the way until he landed in New York after the war.
I now have the letters and have been trying to figure out what to do with them.
I would love to see them go somewhere that they would be appreciated , but nobody seems to be interested anymore.

I am afraid I will die and they will go in the garbage somewhere.
