Happy hunting.

Thinking about the note I may have come up with a possible answer. My dad was in the RCAF during the war but spent the entire war in Eastern Canada so he could not have gotten the note himself. However, a number of his cousins had moved to Michigan in the 1930’s. It is possible that one may have served with the US military in the Pacific and had sent him the note as a souvenir.
