I love seeing things like that. Just the other day as part of my Birthday presents, my Grand Father, who was in Africa during WWII gave me his old military ID card from then. It was cool as crap to see that he held onto since 1944....

I think it is sad that I found these in the paper recycling, I guess he had no family to leave these to. I hope my kids don't throw all my stuff out when I pass on. And Happy Birthday to you!!
