My uncle was killed in battle during the Vietnam War on 10 December 1967. This is a letter from the Department of the Army addressed to my grandfather. It was informing him to be expecting my uncle's personal effects on or about 9 January 1968. Enclosed with the letter was a U.S. Treasury check for the amount of $34.45. The dollar amount was converted from the currency that my uncle had at the time of his death.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
