One thing that touched me more than anything else at this convention, I know of no other place, possibly no other kind of gathering in which a man with a great humanist & understanding of your national commander could have brought up the fact that my wife is so greatly improved. Had she not been I could not have been here. Thank you.” Post-WW2; 1940s; Veterans Organizations;
