Absolutely. We always strive to obtain the real thing. I feel anyone who is truly interested in history, doesn't want it watered down. Those who are easily offended, well without sounded callous, that's their problem, not ours! Go for it!

Here is something I found interesting my favorite cookies were for the boys in service

[James vick]

The back of other recipes had the war chest on it wonder how they handled those funds?

[Walt's Daughter]

Very cool

Thanks I know there good I ate two coffee cans full a year I dint realize the recipe was to help him feel closer to home.Do you know anything about war chest donations?One of the stories that stick out the most is his first experience with dead weight a guy had backed a jeep over a land mine . His detail was to take the young man to a us military bury ground he said he never realized how heavy dead weight was until they put him in the back of a weapons carrier and he drove day and night to get the unlucky guy to a big trench dug with a bulldozer .whats amazing to me is that he made back to his outfit no gps map or communication.he said he just asked other outfits along the way where they were seen last.
