EMETERIO SD. PEREZ
IN my gallivanting to pick up old things that avid collectors call antiques, I chanced upon two collectibles that deserve a Due Diligencer piece. One is a Purple Heart Medal, which had already lost the ribbon that should have been tied to it. The other was a package of World War II mementoes dating back to 1943. They reminded me of my late father who used to tell us, his children, the story about the difficulties that his family had to endure during the war.
