    I have a cash from a WWII & Korean war vet with lots of photos and a draft After Action Report for the Lete Gulf Campaign. I would love to find a relative to give it to. Also have a memorial service pamphlet from a Vietnam war
    KIA. Framed it. That may be my next mission to find a relative to give it to as he was local ant it may be doable. We have a local county museum that might be a candidate, but I know museums tend to sell off items to offset their overhead.
