[78-L] USO records

[Rodger Holtin]

Listers,

 

I recently attended an event for WWII vets and was engaged in some
discussion of WWII era records.  A recurring subject was the many records
the servicemen cut at USO centers which they then sent home.  I transferred
one to CD for a friend and he posted it on his Facebook page.   

 

Discussing these records with vets and their families, it's certainly true
that many of them have been separated from the families.  I have been able
to return a few old Prestos picked up a flea markets to the rightful
families and now I wonder if you all would help me get the USO records you
have back to the rightful families.  Many will have names, and ranks which
may be traceable - or, if they are untraceable, at least get them to
veteran's groups.  I have some connections which may find this a valuable
project, if we can get the records back from folks who may have come into
possession of them who have no connection with the vet.

 

Any interest out there?
