Recently I had the opportunity to visit Hinrik Steinsson who is an avid collector of World War II memorabilia. We were duly impressed with the quality and breadth of his collection, especially since all of it has a connection to Iceland. One of his most significant pieces was a letter signed by President Roosevelt to a General who had served as commander of the U.S. forces in Iceland during the war. These pieces of memorabilia are reminders of the shared sacrifices that Iceland and the United States endured during that terrible war.
