jnslim007's photo gallery 		Yea man shoot me a PM with what ya got.  I can always add to my on going collection seeing I am still in the Military.  Although it would be cool if you put together a shadow box with almost like a memorial with his items in there.  JMO

Status: offline 		What branch of service was he in? If it''s Marine Corps then the National Museum will take the items and hold for potential display. If I were you I''d hold on to them\\; not for potential resale but to give when the right opportunity exists. Recommend you list what he left and we can advise further.
