The LIFE issue that you sent was a HUGE hit with my father and his friends! It came just in time and I couldn't believe how great it looked! Thanks so much!...Bob Lancer, Akron

My grandad was so surprised and pleased with the Life issue from 1945 that I gave him as a birthday gift? He is a WWII veteran and this little bit of nostalga made his day! Joyce Struthers , Los Angeles
