    The last telegram sent by Kentucky Army National Guard Sgt. Jennings Bryan Scanlon from Manila, Philippines Island, dated Dec. 28, 1941. This telegrama and the return to sender letters in the background were donated to the Kentucky National Guard by an anonymous veteran who found them at an estate auction in Harrodsburg, Ky. The letters in the background are from his family and returned to sender after Scanlon was captured by Japanese forces. (U.S. Army photo by Andy Dickson)
