    Hope the pic comes out correctly. Never posted one before.

    Honoring the
    U. S. ARMY
    Crossing of the Rhine
    Remagen bridge
    Picture of the bridge etched in metal.

    This is in a heavy metal, etched backwards. It measures 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. It has a depth of 0.5 inches. It weighs about 1.25 lbs.

    My husbands family had several members in WWII. His father drove Eisenhower for much of the time.

    I have no idea what this is worth. Any ideas? I appreciate any responses in advance. I couldn't find anything like it on-line but that could be my not knowing where to look.

    It's not so much a display item so value may reside with war collectors or newspaper collectors, and would be marginal..

    I was interested in seeing what was written on it. I took the liberty of editing your pic as well as flipping it horizontally.

    I was struggling figuring out what it said while trying to read it backwards. I kept thinking they spelled morning wrong. I was perplexed and then my husband says -uhh try looking in the mirror -with that look that says, really you graduated? Lol!
