A mother's letter to her son, dated December 21, 1952, was returned to her unopened - he never received it. Written during the Korean War, the letter shares ordinary homefront news: a father's doctor visit, holiday shopping, and hopes for good weather. Its return transformed an everyday letter into a cherished, heartbreaking keepsake, later annotated by family: 'Letter that Came Back to Mom. He Never got it.' Project: 218150
