If this works, here is a pic of my grandfather just after basic. I feel pretty lucky to have this photo. I here lots of stories of people aren't as fortunate as me to have a decent photo.
William Basil Grogan, circa (approx.) Dec. '44.
Here's to William and you are so right. Not many even have a photo. When I hear that I feel so lucky to have what I do. So very lucky. Always happy to see my dad's face smiling on me from his photographs. Lucky gal am I!

Wow...am I the only one that thinks the soldier in this picture (Mr. Grogan) reseambles Donnie Wahlberg as Carwood Lipton in Band of Brothers?

God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
