I was at a empty lot where I found a world war 1 metal from {the rock of the Marne} when I looked up the metal on line I found that their was 30,000 dead just on that Island in us solders I thought to my self, being a Marine this metal has to stay in the family.I went to the city and got the records for the land turns out the original homesteder was the name Colegrove in 1860 his son was born in 1888 on that lot he went to ww1 and came back in 1919. Knowing he went through hell and back it took me 4 months of investigation to find the grandson of MR. Colegrove well I found him in salt lake he met me in provo and we exchanged stories when I gave him the metal it was all worth the hard work just to see his face
