A box holding two letters sent 80 years ago was among the donations at a Goodwill Store in Kentucky.
They were written by Navy seaman Robert Ballantine, gunners mate, 3rd class, aboard the USS LST-385."And something like this, the family would want. You know, you'd want the grandson to be able to hold his grandfather's letter and read his words." Goodwill spokesperson Michael Flannery told WLWT.
The news outlet reported that the first letter was sent from the naval training center in Great Lakes, Illinois.Goodwill said they are trying to find Ballantine's next of kin so they can return the letters to them, the news outlet reported.
