While collecting and sorting the affects of my cousin, Rogene Kilpatrick, to be stored, moved or tossed forever - his brother-in-law, Walter Mullins (A Vietnam Vet) came upon an envelope in the bottom of a box with this note - handwritten - inside. For those who know the history of the Korean War and the Chosin Reservoir and the heroic stand of Marines there, this note will bring a chill. God Bless all those souls who suffered there.
For those faced with similar sorting of family treasures and histories, consider museums, the university archives and simply taking digital photos of the articles that have to be discarded. UWF Archives and the Jay Museum are receiving much of these materials.
