A Little About Me (the seller) 

 

I was born and raised in a military family with 5 siblings. My father was a life long devoted military officer, with over 26 years in the United States Army. He served in the Korean war twice and was a surviving member of the tragic 29th regiment. He also fought in Vietnam and was the recipient of multiple purple hearts two from being shot on “Old Baldy” and a having a hand grenade go off next to him. He lost 1.5 inches of height in his right leg, still has shrapnel in his hands and eventually went completely deaf from the extreme decibels of the bomb. At 89 years of age, he is still going strong. My brothers are both Air Force veterans. Unfortunately, the closest one to me, passed away from cancer a few years back. He joined the Air Force to become a fire fighter. Finally, my husband is a veteran of the US Navy.  Now, here I am on eBay. 😉 I’ve accumulated so much over the last few decades that I must begin to part with it. If you are looking for a particular military book, collectible or even non-military non-book items, please feel free to send me a message. Who knows I may have a few!  I have thousands of items that I will be listing. Military & Aviation folks will love it!  You will find the “Save this seller” heart icon just under my username on the top right. That allows you to follow me to see any of my new auctions.
