I think its so awesome when you find something that was from that era.its even better that when its from your own family.so cool,the pictures seem to come up really well.
ReplyDeletewow, that's really cool! That's so neat that you were able to find all of these papers and stuff from that time.
ReplyDeleteI know my grandpa still has a few letters that he wrote to his brother while they were both serving in the army during WWII, but they're so old and tattered that I can barely read them.
