Marion,
I can relate to your wanting to dance with the find of such a treasure. While up taking care of my daddy he gave me his dog tags and some jewelry that he made for my mother while he was over in Korea. This was such a great honor as I will always have these to remember him by. He has given my husband his Trench Coat, snake bite kit that he was issued by the Army while he was overseas, even some old C-Rations that he had left from WWII. He has all of his orders and his citation letter from the President. He had all of his medals and insignias also. This is such a wonderful present anyone can every get.
They will be put on display in his house foreever.
