Jimmy Morris was one of five brothers who all served in World War II. They all came home and lived long lives. After the war, Jimmy Morris spent most of his career as a mail carrier in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.... but 3 letters he sent home from WW2 in Europe, just were found, and read for the 1st time by his family

Thanks to a postage collector on a mission and a social media post, a brother and sister opened the previously sealed letters their late father sent to his parents in 1944 from England, around D Day, while he was serving in the 83rd Thunderbolt Division of the U.S. Army during the war.

Erik Martin, a postage collector in Massachusetts ordered a batch of war envelopes online.

"This batch had four letters to the same woman, and I saw that three of them were still sealed, so I've never seen that before," Martin said.

He became determined to find the descendants of Mrs. Francis Morris, so Martin posted the information he had about the letters on a Facebook page. 

That helped lead to the connection within a day. From there, Martin mailed the letters to the Morris family in Delaware County.

All three letters were written between May and June of 1944, right around D-Day, when their father was stationed in England.
