A few months ago, I found this...
Inscribed with a WW2 Veterans name, and military ID number.
Research shows he had no kids, died in 1982.
Had 2 brothers, youngest still lives in the town next to me.
I know he wasnโt sure about the guy knocking on his door, but when I started telling the story of how I found this bracelet with his Uncle Hoyeโs โ name on it, suddenly he opened up with details of his late Uncles life.
Iโll spare yโall the details of the Vet, letโs just say he was fondly remembered, and not forgotten at all.
When I told the old timer that the bracelet belongs to his family, and all I wanted was a handshake and lead us into prayer, his response was classic...,
โSon, I donโt cry, but if I did, I wouldโ
He almost got me, ainโt gonna lie.

So after that, I got the permission for his 100+ year old homestead, a knee-high grass and iron mess, but I squeezed out two wheats, so thatโs good.
Thanks for looking, and may your returns be gratifying.
