I'm so glad it worked out that I was out there as I was preparing for this video. I've only been able to do that one other time for a postcard video I did earlier this year.
Looks like a copy of the newspaper obituary notice transferred to cardstock. He was in HQ Company, so he would have been close to the XO when the fight went down. Usually they were RTO MOS's and such.
This is a touching video and it's nice to see that this young man (and he will forever be a young man) is remembered many decades after his untimely death. Just curious: were death cards ever common in the United States at all? They definitely were in Germany. Maybe Cpl. Muren's parents were immigrants?
It's rather interesting, funeral prayer cards were and are quite common in the US, but cards related to soldiers are incredibly hard to find. I really haven't found a good reason as to why that is.
Thanks for doing a video a day for September, it's be great watching them.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! We'll be going back to weekly videos for a bit but March will be another month of daily uploads.
Thank you for visiting his grave. It makes this presentation more real.

Big Red One veteran's say that there is the 1st Infantry Division and the rest of the U.S. Army.
Nice of you
