The men whose lives are preserved within this collection left behind something extraordinarily personal: their own words.
They never married and had no children to inherit and protect their history. For nearly eight years, I searched for immediate family members who might rightfully carry their story forward, but none could be located.
I therefore came to understand that possessing these letters carried a responsibility.
Someone had to become their guardian.
As the custodian of this remarkable archive, I hold the rights, title, and interest associated with the collection. My goal has always been greater than simply owning old letters. It has been to ensure that the courage, sacrifice, humor, fear, love, and humanity preserved on these pages are never forgotten.
As a United States Marine veteran, discovering these letters affected me profoundly
I understood that these were not merely collectibles.
They were the voices of men who served their country.
They were someone's sons. Someone's brothers. Someone's fellow servicemen.
And their story survived.
NOW THE COLLECTION AWAITS ITS NEXT CHAPTER
The opportunity now exists for the right individual, institution, museum, historical organization, collector, or media organization to become the next guardian of this extraordinary archive.
This is an opportunity to acquire far more than a collection of WWII correspondence.
It is an opportunity to preserve an authentic American story with significant historical, educational, publishing, exhibition, documentary, and cinematic possibilities.
The letters are real.
The history is real.
The men were real.
And nearly a century later, their voices can still be heard.
The next guardian of this collection will not simply own history.
They will become part of its story.

May God bless those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who continue the sacred responsibility of preserving their stories.
The letters survived the war. Now we must make certain their story survives time.
Let us join together to honor and preserve the legacy of America’s heroes.
Let us unite in preserving the legacy of our American heroes.
