Coupon stub. From Harold's son Skip: "Steve - via the guest book on the website I made contact with Harold Johnson. He was not in my Dad's outfit however he took the time to look up the names/addreses of men who were. Yesterday Mr. Johnson stopped by - we're about 20 miles away. Nice visit. He looked through the photos I provided you and focused very quickly on the coupon - the last item on the disk. He said the Red Cross charged the fighting men for donuts and coffee - that coupon brought back that memory. Found it interesting that the Red Cross would charge those brave folks for a cup of coffee and a donut - put their lives on the line and have to pay for something like that. He talked about that for a while. |
