I've got a copy of orders from Nimitz to a Battle Group Re: Souvenirs... they were to the point of "none shall be taken," but that's on recollection. I'll have ot dig it up and scan it in or something... Would be cool to post it up.

I've also got a copy of some handmade divisional newspaper, just after the battle at Peliliu. Was thinking of patterning after that and making one for 2nd ID

I have copies of 2nd ID newspaper cover sheets.

I like the last line,

"Above all, don't be like the service- man (name withheld by request) who mailed a live hand grenade to his mother with a note: "Mother, put this on the mantelpiece." And then added, as an afterthought, "Don't let it fall off. It might explode."
