I have a question for veterans.

As mentioned earlier I once had 12 cases of MREs. One day while I was camping in my Parents cabin, I brought one into their home and asked Daddy if he knew what it was. He just glanced at it and said “rations”.

Now he was a combat veteran of WWII but I can’t believe their rations looked like MREs. Or did they?

U.S. military ration cases have been marked with a black crescent logo since WWI.
