From the Oct. 1, 2009, Dutch Harbor (Alaska) Fisherman. AP.
Jack Harold Glenn was a World War II bomber navigator killed in a mission over Germany in 1944. His silver bracelet was given to a 16-year-old boy who helped retrieve the body.
Sixty-five years later, that bracelet is returning to his sister in Alaska. Bernard Harding, 90, of New Hampshire, traveled to that village in Germany to look for his pilot's wings he buried there during the war.
Instead, he found the bracelet. Glenn's only surviving relative, Helen Glenn Foreman of Anchorage, Alaska, will get it and then send it to the museum in Matagordo County, Texas, where Glenn Grew Up.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
