I just now had time to read those letters and they were so wonderful and touching. Letter writing is a lost art in these days. I have all the letters to my husband and from my husband while he was in the Navy. They are tied up with ribbons and I wonder what to do with them sometimes.
Someday your kids will enjoy reading them.
I have wondered the same thing, JC. My (late) husband was the first casualty of WWII. He was injured in the South Pacific, at Makin Island. He was awarded the Navy Cross, which was presented to him by Elenore Roosevelt, along with two purple hearts.
He was hospitalized for a year, due to injuries that he sustained, as the Marines took the island. It was a miracle he survived.
I have two trunks full of memorabilia - and a large box full of medals he was awarded while in the USMC. Letters, cards, awards, certificates, uniforms - I don’t know what to do with it all - but can’t bring myself to just throw it out.
