I agree with Fran, it is too bad that more collectors didn't have your foresight, to document the souvanirs. So many of these great stories from vets were lost, and now the few veterans that I do run into have long forgotten where they aquired these things. Every once in a while, I do still get a "I tore that flag down from the Berlin police station" or my latest dagger was "I traded a pound of coffee for that...". The saddest part is while their kids have heard the war stories hundreds of times most of them never listened...
