Thought you guys might be interested in these A/B paper pieces. One is a Christmas "V" mail from the 517th, the other is a black humor song from the same unit. Found locally.

Garth,
Those are a couple of great pieces. I think US paperwork is one of the least appreciated aspects of militaria collecting- it is also the least faked. THe Christmas card is GREAT. It is also interesting to see the unit specific rendition of "Blood On the Risers" which is the paratroopers' signature song- sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Gory, Gory , what a hellova way to die!
