| I had flown into Houston the evening of the 10th., and was waiting for a friend to pick me up to go to work from the hotel lobby early on the 11th.

Now that I have posted an example of a WW2 label, I have to point out that a thread already exists for WW1 charity labels. Possibly the WW1 items here should be moved to that thread and this one renamed as 'WW2 Charity Labels'?
Can that be done? |
