Sentimental Soldier Find

[Holly_squirrel]

I couldn't be happier if I had found gold. Found this at my parents house, which had been my great grandparents home... And it's the home where my grandfather and his brother were born.



We lost my grandfather in a traumatic way last year... We use to discuss his life and history ... It was important to me to carry it on. We use to talk about WWII alot. He and his brother volunteered, only my grandfather made it home.



Finding a toy of his and a soldier at that... Is just really really special to me. Thanks for letting me share.

That is such a special find! I would cherish that little toy, and imagine my father playing with it.

Now Mrs. Snow, place your treasure in a safe spot and no complaining about finding iron for at least a week. Deal?

Atta girl ! Thats a special find. One of those you pick up every 5 mins and look at again.
