Pat Grum
Thank you so much to Claire Ko and your whole team for putting this collection together, which includes my Grandfather, Major Allen Grum. He passed away when my father, BG Allen Grum was 21 so my brothers and sisters did not know him. It is wonderful to know that this project has memorialized him and I can share it with my children. Many thanks.
