I received a letter from the National World War II Museum and I am thinking of becoming a permanent member. For those who are not familiar with the museum, it began as the D-Day Museum down in New Orleans, but because of the interest that has been brewing, they have decided to expand and become a World War II Museum to encompass the entire war.
I think it's a great idea and want to see it prosper, so for me becoming a member, goes without saying or much thought.
The letter that is attached, was included along with their introduction letter. The intro letter is written by the grandson of 1st Lt Leonard S Issacks JR. He included the letter that his grandfather wrote to his grandmother before going to Iwo Jima. Sadly he was one of many that never made it back home.
There is a photo in attached to the letter that show his grandfather with his two sons. One of the sons of course was the author's dad.
I'm sure you will find the letter touching. I sure did.
