Do you have a box/s of military treasures that you would run into a burning house to save? What do you have in there and why is it significant? Most importantly, does everybody else know the significance? You see it all the time. Someone inherits something in grandma and grandpa's attic and it looks cool, but you don't know the whole story behind it. What is in YOUR box?

I have some things I would like to save. But I doub my immediate family (i.e. Daughter, spouse), would keep any of my items after my death. (Wife is a foreigner and daughter is being brought up in foreign culture).
I just wish I had been home when my great uncle passed away years ago. Unfortunately, this WWII hero with two purple hearts , bronze and silver Stars, among other awards.... Was thrown out by the "estate" people who handled his "case" and sold his property away without asking me his only family he chose to leave his Inheritance.
Still sadness me to think people can be so ruthless when it comes down to the almighty dollar, with no respect for the dead hero and his personal history.
