They seem like quick notes to transfer to an official report later. He was the commander of a tank crew and saw more than his share of the war. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~ 3-7-77

I still have several. That is a great find and a treasure to your family history. The first time I shot myself in the head... Meniere's Sucks Big Time!!!
