A very nice assemblage commemorating those who fought on the beaches on D-Day, two "spent" bullets recovered on the beaches or nearby in the mid-1980's, including what appears to be a .38 pistol bullet and a .30 rifle bullet. Both are in small plastic cases attached to a reproduction of a military map of the landing beaches. The map has also been adorned with nine shoulder patches of American of American regiments, etc. which participated in the initial attack, including the 82nd Airborne, 101st Airborne, Rangers, 1st Infantry, etc. The display is set into a 15" x 12" shadowbox and is accompanied by 1985 photos of the consignor's children at the Normandy beaches and battle site, along with his letter of provenance. The consignor, a disabled American vet, has pledged a share of the proceeds of this display to paralyzed veterans in Washington State.
