Hi all, we just had a couple days visit with my wife's 98 year old grand mother. I went down into the basement of her home and saw this jacket.
It belonged to my wife's grandfather who passed in 2012. He was in a tank destroyer outfit and saw heavy fighting from D day through the bulge where he got frost bite on both feet and was taken out of the fight. He almost lost his feet but his amputation was put off and his feet got slowly better.
As I was admiring the uniform jacket I was asked if I wanted it. I'm really humbled to have this piece of family history from the greatest generation.
