Laura Mae Davis, a 90 year old woman, recently went to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans to see a display commemorating her high school sweetheart, Cpl. Thomas Jones, who was killed by a sniper in Japan. But what she found was incredible: Jones’ diary which included his last life request to give the diary to Davis.
“I didn’t have any idea there was a diary in there,” she said. She was brought to tears when she saw it.
Included in the diary was a picture of Laura Mae that Thomas had kept with him at all times.
