Today an interesting item on ebay... Glenn Miller's (alleged) WWII AAF Dress uniform & cap, all for a mere $15,000! If you want to check it out yourself it is ebay item # 170449205509.

I saw Glen Miller at Madame Tussad's wax museum in NYC. It was pretty neat!

Something else of my mother's...

I found this great-looking scrapbook on ebay. It's unused and the front is embossed leather and features representations of all branches of the service. It's titled "Uncle Sam at The Helm." I love these old WWII scrapbooks! I think I will use this one to make a tribute to family members who served in WWII. It came with a 12" x !6" certificate, also unused, that is too big for my scanner , but something I've wanted for a long time as I can fill it out with Dad's Navy info.

I will be sharing pics soon of another WWII scrapbook I received today in the mail. It is for a USMC veteran and also great-looking if you are like me and enjoy things that have that "been there" appearance.

I'm a couple of days late posting for this, but I thought you might like to see how one American company prepared for The First VJ Day in 1945. I love things like this, especially when you don't even see any mention of the day WWII ended these days, unless you belong to a fine group like VI Corps that is!

Wouldn't it be great if we lived long enough to see a Victory Over Terrorists Day? Unfortunately that's probably not in the cards for any of us to see in our lifetime.

That is really something. Great note from an employer to their employees. It does lift the spirits doesn't it? Where did you find this???

Howdy M1! I found it on ebay for an asking price of $1.50. It really is a great piece of our American History, from a time not so long ago when most folks were very patriotic. It would be interesting to find out if 'Lee & Cady' Co. was still in business.
