Suzanne Flament-Smith found a message in a bottle along a trail in Florida containing a letter from 1945 addressed to 'Lee.' She hopes to track down the families of the letter's author and intended recipient.
The letterhead from a U.S. Navy training base in Virginia Beach was dated '3/4/45,' showcasing a glimpse into a conversation between friends, mentioning a bar near the base having 'pretty good beer.'
Kristina Higgins from the Naval History and Heritage Command confirmed the letter's authenticity but remains uncertain about the author and the reason for placing it in a bottle.
