Veteran Salute

Discovering some old pictures provided a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of life in the service during World War II.  Below is a picture of my father.  He was an officer and worked in the transportation division to keep the equipment up and operational.   When he left the service, he worked to save enough money to buy a motorcycle, so he must have enjoyed his work with them while serving. 

Below, is my mother's older brother, Tom.  He was a career military man, entering the Army shortly after high school graduation. He served for the duration of World War II and into the late 1940's. 

I am also  reminded of an important practice while going through this box of old photographs: LABEL all pictures with names and dates - location adds some insights, as well!  More than half of these photographic treasures are of of people I do not recognize......
