This glass was part of a set that belonged to my Dad. He was U.S. Army artillery 1942-1962. his unit was credited with sinking a Nazi sub off Greenland and he was personally commended for being the FO that helped wipe out a Japanese patrol in the Philippines. I was hoping someone here knows where I could get another set so I could retire this one. My wife is fond of drinking out of it while it's sentimentally priceless,I'm sure Dad would want it to be used for it's "intended purpose." Still,it would be nice to have some "extras." Thanks in advance for any help.

Good Luck! |
| If he was ADA after the war he may have started out as Coast Artillery Corps as those units were eventually converted into ADA units as by the time that change occurred almost all of their weapons were of the AA type (they assumed that role because they had experience shooting at moving targets as they had to train initially to shoot at ships). |
