Life in the U.S. for Immigrants: According to U.S. media reports, who could have imagined that a postcard sent during World War II would finally reach the descendants of the recipient after nearly 70 long years.
Ten years ago, Amanda Thompson, a resident of upstate New York, purchased an antique book at a flea market. Tucked inside the book was a postcard. Based on the signature and content, it was a postcard sent by a U.S. soldier to his elderly mother back home during World War II. Amanda immediately decided to find the owner of the postcard and return it to its rightful place.
In the days that followed, the postcard traveled across much of the United States with Amanda and even survived a flood, remaining in perfect condition, yet the owner of the postcard remained unfound.
It was not until several years later that Amanda decided to search for the owner via Facebook. Soon, she made contact with a man named Robert Starkey from Indiana. Robert stated that the sender of the postcard, that U.S. soldier from the WWII era, was his father, and the recipient was his grandmother.
Seventy years ago, this postcard was lost in transit. He never expected that, more than half a century later, he would be able to see this precious postcard again. Robert said that seeing the handwriting made him feel as if his father were right there with him.
Amanda personally delivered the postcard to Robert. Robert expressed that he would cherish the postcard and ensure this precious memory is never lost again.
