  1. Just a general comment for all. Also, it must be said at the start, I have NO horse in this race. Posting of all these very detailed documents (not edited or redacted) of any of these families is fair game but posting a picture of family is taking it a step to far? Makes me laugh. Come on folks. Posting a dead soldier’s personal, private information, from any of these dead soldiers and their families, is not only imprudent but unwarranted. Completely injudicious. Let’s not forget, this seller, whomever they are, wanted to remain anonymous. So who is to gain from this post and at what cost? When does it cross a line for internet fodder, or to stroke one’s ego showing the world you’re correct on the internet? Because that’s what this boils down to. Being correct on the internet. No one said anyone here had to buy these books. Buy them because you wanted them, collect them, because they just are that dang good. Throwing big words like “fraud” based solely on assumptions is a dangerous game. Here is an assumption, a company simply using the information provided by a seller. Do you think any agent of any company would say to any seller or family, prove it to me, show me their death certificate? Can any of you honestly say you know off the top of your head your dead relative's ages at the time of their deaths from 50, 60, even 70 years ago? I’m not sure anyone could. I’m really just confused by this thread. It’s based on “detective work” but to whose detriment? Everyone here is using a made up handle to hide your identity, your anonymity, your private information but the audacity to call out people who asked to remain anonymous. Why?? Again, to what gain? It’s no different than posting that letter, “hey lotto winner X, my aunt Sally in Des Moines has big toe cancer, can you help me? signed Karen”. Just let it be. Let this seller have the anonymity they asked for. Someone who had no say on anonymity, a dead soldier who didn’t hide behind a handle in times of war. So again, why do this? Why do any of this? To be right on a chat board on the internet? That’s the answer! I would truly hope this obsession of finding the “truth” is not leading people here to contact these dead soldier’s families to then bolster their claim of being correct on the internet. It has been discussed throughout this thread numerous times. It makes me cringe thinking about it. Show some decorum. I really hope this has not happened because when does it stop at “detective work” and become harassment? What should be the take away from this story? The love between two brothers during a war. A promise that was kept. Give that the respect it deserves.
