Well-maintained Army uniform with love letter from 1957 found in ditch
The discovery of a well-maintained Army uniform in a ditch by the side of a remote road in the Piper neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas, has several people looking for answers.
Luann Palmer바카라 게임 웹사이트s daughter found the uniform on a coat hanger near the driveway of the family home.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I just thought if it was my dad바카라 게임 웹사이트s, I would want it back,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Luann said.
Inside one of the pockets was a love letter addressed to Howard Pennington postmarked in Verdun, France, on Dec. 2, 1957.
The letter reads in part, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Sweetheart my love, I miss you so very much."
With the letter providing the only clues about the uniform, Luann reached out on social media to find the potential owner.
Molly Jennings responded to help solve the mystery.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I shared it with my daughter, and she initially ran with it. She started looking and the more she talked to me about it, the more I grew invested in it and I really wanted to know and try to find his family,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Molly said.
Through research, they found that Pennington was assigned to an Army combat engineers unit building roads in France.
Molly and her daughter also found out that Pennington died just three days after the letter was postmarked.
They haven바카라 게임 웹사이트t been able to determine if he received the letter or how he died.
They also discovered Pennington바카라 게임 웹사이트s commanding officer lived in Leavenworth, Kansas, and he still has family in that area.
And they found Pennington바카라 게임 웹사이트s great-nephew in Clinton, Missouri 바카라 게임 웹사이트 about an hour from where the uniform was found.
However, the great-nephew told Molly he didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t know the uniform, or the letter existed until she reached out.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I personally think it was in the possession of someone that바카라 게임 웹사이트s maybe not related to him, maybe someone he served with, a close friend,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Molly said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I really just want to know who had it. I want to know why they kept it safe for 65 years,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she added.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s been hung up, somebody took great care of it, somebody has to know something,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Luann said.
