I have displayed the whole uniforms at our local Library and high school during the military recruiting days and patriotic holidays.
Good for you! Whole uniforms...WOW. Would love to see pics of the nurse's uniform (wife's a nurse).
I have a hat collection (12) mostly military, that I am trying to sell. Any ideas?
Try Ebay, lots of military collectors out there.
How much for the USS Kentucky?
VJnavy, The USS Kentucky had belonged to my grandfather who served on the battleship during ww1. I will keep the hat and pass it down to my daughter some day.
VillageIdiot, I would like to see that life magazine on nurses hat. My aunt was in the nurses corp during ww2.
VillageIdiot, There are a ton of Life magazines on ebay with articles about nurses. Perhaps you could look, then cut and paste it to here. Thanks
You have a lucky Daughter tomtucker!
