<p>[QUOTE="Jen and George, post: 88512, member: 845"]Several years ago we bought a box lot at an auction and in it were several WWII medals, including a Purple Heart, and the telegram notifying the family that their serviceman had been injured, then the notification that he had died. We could not find any family members but we contacted both the VFW and the American Legion in his hometown. The Legion was not interested but the VFW took the items, along with a photograph we had found, and created a display in their facility.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
