During WWII, Mrs. William Wiley kept her most treasured mementos of her husbands service in Iran in a leather-bound folder. The clipping from the U.S. Army Dispatch that she received in December of 1943 went right into the folder the day she received it. The clipping showed her husband, Pvt. William Wiley, meeting the Commander in Chief of the American Military Forces, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Pvt. Wiley had fractured his leg while on duty with the Persian Gulf Service Command. The President visited the hospital in which he was recuperating. (T.Times, 12/22/1943, p.1)
