Index to 1st Sgt Lutes WWII album

Collection of pictures and memorialbilia my grandfather, 1st Sgt. Lewis Lutes (M company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines) assembled after the war, late 40's to early 50's is when it was made. Some of the pictures are stock, some aren't, plus tons of military curios, Japanese currency captured, top secret military maps, etc. This is to preserve for future generations. For info about the 3rd Battalion 8th Marines, see the muster roll for Nov. 1943 in my other album. http://ImageEvent.com/markandsuzy/3rdbattalion8thmarines38m

My Daddy never discussed WW2 but I know he saw a lot, and pondered much in his heart. He was always a Marine. I still fold my towels/washcloths per Marine standard that I was taught as a child. He is loved and missed. I often think of him when I see other veterans around his era. Thanks, Mark, for all your interest and hard work.
