Invasion of Normandy; D-Day June 6, 1944 |
This time capsule was buried at the end of World War II in the year 1945. The items inside are to help the future generations understand our struggle in a time of hardship, and our eventual victory. Included inside are also items of our daily lives.
I put the note down, and began sifting through the box's contents. I picked up a couple of dog tags, but they were to badly scratched to see what was inscribed on them. The next thing I picked up was...
"A Coca-Cola bottle? They had Coca-Cola in the 1940s!?" I muttered.
The next thing I picked up from the box was a black and white photograph of soldiers. On the back, it read:
Invasion of Normandy; D-Day
June 6, 1944
June 6, 1944
I put the photograph down beside me, and inside the box I found movie tickets to the movie Bambi. The words on the ticket was barely eligible, and the paper was worn down. I continue to look through the contents of the box, finding even more photographs of soldiers and letters sent to them from their loved ones. I picked up one of the letters and unfolded it, but then my mom called me from the house, telling me to go back inside. I put back the dog tags and all of the other items I took out back into the box, and carried it with me back into the house to show my parents and siblings.
