The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 6
Following PFC Ross Moon of the 11th Airborne Division, this selection of Moon-Sammiet letters spans airborne jump school, service in the Pacific, and sightseeing in occupied Japan. Japanese banknotes kept as souvenirs and a repurposed department-store airmail envelope accompany the correspondence, preserving both the emotional and material traces of wartime service.
