I suspect we'll see more as the old vets pass on and their relatives sort through their belongings. May they all rest in peace.
Dang, I just saw this news and was about to post. Good move, Steve! :)
Very cool story.
What a great piece of the history to have. I hope the families of vets. don't just auction stuff off for a quick buck but either sell it to someone who appreciates it or donate it to be displayed in a museum.

Agreed. Not sure if I could part with it for $20k.
