Object Story
Participant's uncle Harvey Rice served in the Marines. He does not know much about his assignments. The canteen reminds him of his uncle's sacrifice during the war; he continued to use the canteen as a child and still as an adult, taking it to boy scout outings, hunting, and camping with his family.
