my dad served in the medical corps in the navy during ww2. he died 2 years ago and my sister sent me an official navy folder U.S. NAVY OFFICER SERVICE RECORD. its full of papers from when he volunteered to when he was discharged. was on a ton of diff ships during the war. its all fairly interesting stuff to me, but as soon as i'm gone the kids are gonna shitcan it i'm sure along with all my personal papers etc. would a museum be interested in this stuff or do they have a boatload (shipload)? of this stuff already.
