Very neat to have this from your grandfather! To answer your question, yes, there is a lot of this kind of stuff out there. Figure, there were over 16 million Americans who served in WWII. Paperwork to soldiers is something a relatively small number of collectors go after. For those of us who do collect paper, it is nice to read the small details, especially from a soldier who saw combat on the ground.

It looks like it's chrome plated. 

I picked up one of these newsletters.  Here are the front ant back covers.  The application to join/renew on the back cover clearly shows who could become a member: Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Widow of Woman member of Armed Forces attached to AAF.    

Hi Jo, great, see you in June. Pieter

Here is what I see in value.  $350-$500 based on his service. He was in North Africa late in the war, but did not see any action before then.     I have sold those shield bibles im the original box on Ebay for $50-75 .     Kurt

No, I was in the Field Artillery.  Spent time with units that had division bands and lived on Ft McNair for a short time, just around the corner from The Army Band (Pershing's Own).

Hello RG,   The patch is indeed for the Anti Aircraft Command..   If you provide the name of the individual, we may be able to help with research    Leigh 

Was able to buy these autographs over the years and am curious as to a possible value. 

Thanks everyone for your feedback.   Hello Pieter, nice collection of Rangers items, thanks for sharing. I'll make a detour to the Carentan shop in June.   Best regards, Jo

This might be a long shot, since the shoulder patch in this image is only barely visible. I'm trying to identify the unit for the very elderly brother of this soldier. I have no information about him other than his name, the fact that he may have come ashore on Omaha Beach on D+1 or D+2, and that he may have served (or enlisted with) another local soldier who was part of the 391st Armored Field Artillery (AA). Don't know if this is an Anti-Aircraft Command patch or something else entirely.
