[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 4281141, member: 34578"] Sadly, as living WW2 veterans are all but now gone, most museums now have more stuff like this than they know what to do with. A small town museum might do a display for a local hero, but for OKC, I'm sure they already have no shortage of personal memorabilia and it would just be shoved in a box in the "archives" if lucky, or they might just sell it themselves. If it were mine, and I was selling it, I would make copies of a few of the nicer photos and print out a short history of the fallen hero and include them with any items sold or donated. This will help to preserve the provenance and the memory. [/QUOTE]
