<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1453169, member: 28199&quot;]Interesting topic.&nbsp; I am a history buff, but my area of interest is actually the Civil War.&nbsp; I started going through the stuff I have lying around with the intention of putting together a set of WW 2 coins, at least one coin from each country and year involved. I was looking at dates that correspond with the US involvement.&nbsp; Just kind of something to do when I had nothing better and was bored.&nbsp; Then in March, my wife received a phone call from a representative of the US Army asking her to submit a DNA sample to help identify the remains of her second cousin. Nobody on her side of the family really knows anything about him.&nbsp; Turns out he was the radio operator of a C-47 that disappeared over Burma in 1944.&nbsp; Wreckage was not discovered until 2004.&nbsp; So as we researched this my interest in WW 2 increased, so back I go to this set.&nbsp; We are still waiting confirmation and positive ID.&nbsp; I am also looking to start with the European Theater, but now may switch to the Asian Theater first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
