Glad it was saved from the trash... sad though... a perfect example of why the argument collectors and historians are often the best preservationists.... we really do care and want to preserve Their Memories.... "blue skies" to the deceased....

Very sad, this is what family does. The minimalist want nothing. I see it every day. 

This Airman spent most of his life serving his country, They could have at least donated it to the goodwill.  That just gets me....

It hurts me to think about all the historic items  thave been and still are tossed by the hour because someone deems them "trash"...

Great find/save!!

Sad he only passed +/- two years ago and his memory is in the trash already!

Me too...

How sad. I found his obituary. Nothing about him other than he lived and died. Extended family probably took care of everything including cremating him cleaning out the house. CMSgt. is no small accomplishment.

Some people don’t always understand the true value of things. It’s very sad and unfortunate.
