An incredible path that jacket took and awesome that the guy was able to return it to the original owner.

Awesome story!

Good thing someone got it who cared about the man's service. A jacket like that is worth a couple grand easy.

Glad to hear he got it back after 63 years, I wonder if the wife feels a little guilty.....

Very cool, heart warming story to hear. That jacket is worth a lot of money, especially to collectors, hats off for the man who found it and searched for its original owner :wink:

Nice to know there are people who value something other than money.

Well, if she DID give it away in 1950, it's not like he actually "lost" it. Hey, maybe she'll put it on Ebay this time for $2000. LOL I swear, I seriously, SERIOUSLY, can't believe he bought it for $17.00!!!! What in the world?!!
