Thanks, Marion, it is already in my display case together with the Purple Heart and his uniform. 
Brooke, many "moons" ago, I wrote to the chairman of the 26th Infantry Division Association (Paul D'Angelo at that time) and asked if there were Veterans who remembered being in Wiltz, Luxembourg as I was studying that battle.
James was one of those who replied.
After a long time of exchanging letters, he invited me over to New Mexico.
That was back in 1992 (I was 21 then).
I spent a whole month there and enjoyed every second of it.
We went on a trip with an RV and I saw a nice part of the Southwest.
While there, he showed me some of the stuff he had (uniform, medals, paperwork, German souvenirs, etc).
And at one time, he wrote if I was interested in some war stuff.
Of course, I didn't say no.
And that's how I got this stuff; whenever he feels like it, he sends me a package. 
I am a researcher in first place, collecting comes second or third place (well, actually, my girlfriend comes first place, but don't tell her .... 
).
