Bernd..... It has been inspirational for me to read your wonderful historical posting about your Dad.
Your world class collection - is a continuation of the honor, Love & reverence, which you have for him & his memories. (Now, I can understand even better when you said that Chocolate from the GI's in post WW2 Germany was such a treat for the children!)
You truly 'understand' the very special significance of all of these historical items which we collect - often wondering 'Who' was the man that wore these? You know & good for you, and good for Doug! Bravo. .....Dave / dblmed
