  Pat Nesbitt of Molalla, Oregon, has been wearing the same military-style bomber jacket for the last 60 years. It isn't a family heirloom—or at least one from his family—but it's meant just as much, if not more, to him. His uncle found the brown leather jacket at a bar in Tacoma, Washington, in the 1950s. After no one came back to claim it, he gave it to his 5-year-old nephew, Pat, who was battling polio at the time and had a passion for military memorabilia. 

Pat has always known the name of jacket's owner. The name Miles F. Blum was stenciled on the inside of the jacket, but until recently he didn't know much about the man behind one of his most prized possessions. 

Starting from around the time he was 10, Nesbitt said the jacket has been a staple in his wardrobe. He's worn it so much, he's had to replace the zipper and the cuffs. But more than a favorite piece of clothing, it _______ a source of strength and encouragement. 

"When my uncle gave me the jacket, from 10 years old to 18, every time I'd go on an adventure of some sort, I'd put on my official jacket because it gave me superpowers," he told KATU News. "If he could do 40 missions in that jacket, I could sled down the cliff, and I did. Most people could come back after 25, but he didn't. This guy was a superhero, and this is a jacket a superhero would wear."

Recently, Nesbitt, now 76, was looking at the jacket and a thought occurred to him. He wondered what would happen to the jacket when he passed away. He couldn't bear the thought of it hanging abandoned in a secondhand store, so he decided it was finally time to find its owner. He enlisted the help of his friend to search for the family of Miles F. Blum. His friend found an obituary for Miles F. Blum Jr., then found his sister via Ancestry.com.
