WooooHoooooo!

Guess what came in the mail?!  Yup, a manilla envelope filled with documents and papers (copies of course).  They copied anywhere from 60-80 documents!  Its quite a stack.  A lot of the documents had been damaged, even burned.  It is so cool to see his medical records, enlistment, service, even a telegram that was sent to his mother when he was wounded.  Oh, and a court document where he drove a vehicle while supposedly in the hospital and had to pay a $10 court fine.  Haha, what a trouble maker he was!!

If you girls decide to do this, I highly recommend it!  Now I need to find a few nice leather archival quality albums to put it all in.  I dont know how Im going to wait til Christmas to give this to my Dad.  Im SO happy :)

Re: WooooHoooooo!

  • That's amazing! So exciting.  Have you thought about Creative Memories for albums? They have really classic styles and they have been tested and tested to be sure they are archival safe.

  • How great!! I'm so glad it came. Is this everything or are you still waiting for whatever they said they'd send in May? I wonder if they have something similar in England. I believe my gran has most of my grandad's medals and war records but I'm wondering about my dad's biological father. He was in WWI (he was a LOT older than my nana and actually died of cancer 2 months before my dad was born).
  • That is awesome. Is this what you were waiting for or is there more? I heard the creative memories books are good and I would invest in a good album. Take pictures and show us your finished project
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • There is another part, it's coming from a different office in Penn.  Im hoping its all of his medals bc thats the dept. its coming from.  The ship date is now back to march/april again.  Who knows when that (whatever it is) will come.

    Caroline, I have no idea but the National Archives gov. website is where I filed it.  Maybe England has something similar?

    Thanks for the Creative Memories suggestions.  Can you only buy their products online?

    I will def. take pics and show you girls!
