Wow! That is a neat story and goes to show how nearly everyone in this country had some connection to the war.

That's really cool! If you ever decide to sell it, let me know.

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

Yeah, it's different. The names that were put on the backs of the belts by the boxers are prior to D-Day and will keep me busy for awhile trying to research them.

Wow, quite a research project you've got there, Hardheaded!

Here's a medal I found a few years ago. It came in a green velvet case. Interestingly it went back to a collector in Ireland.

Pretty cool medal. Thanks for adding it!

Going through some stuff I have and noticed Walbert was a Master Sgt., even his headstone has SFC on it.

Here are some of the names that I found on the back of the belts so far. I'll update the names list later if anyone wants to see the rest that I figure out.

Sad too see that 7 of his brothers didn't make it back from the war !! Would love to see more names
