My uncle was a seabee during ww2, one of the first on japanese's held islands, to build landing strips etc. So he gets on an Island, can't remember which one. They find some Japanese officersbuilding and under machine gun fire he crawls there, finds a sword, pistol and a fancy Vase.

He packs the vase carefully and ships it to my aunt saying guard this 'ming' vase with your life we will be millionaires. So for he next 2-3 years he writes letters saying how is the 'vase'.

after the war he comes home and says where is the vase we will be rich, she gives it to him and tells him to look at the bottom, it says 'made in the USA'

She said she didn't have the courage to write him and tell him the truth, thought he would get depressed
