My grandfather's Army jacket

In all of the chaos of the last week, I forgot to write about my grandfather's army jacket.  As our family has been going through things, we came across my grandfather's army jacket.  Grandpa served in the Pacific in WWII.  He passed away when I was 13, so we never discussed his service time, but Mom told me he was in supply, not in combat.  When Mom came across the jacket, she hung it in the living room.  Last week, when we were there, she told me she was thinking about giving it to Thomas.  I told her he would love to have it, but it was her decision.  She said that he has worked really hard so she called him into the room and told him he could have it.  His face absolutely lit up and he looked at mom and me, thanked my mom, and told us he really, really liked it.  Tears filled my mother's eyes.  She was so pleased that my son had something from her dad that truly meant something to him.  It was very emotional for us.  When Thomas got home, he tried it on.  It made me emotional to think that my grandfather was only a few years older than Thomas is now when he was wearing it.  It's very special.
