DutchInfid3l Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted February 3, 2013 I was referring to any family style photographs with military uniform present, not necessarily of "family". This was an auction win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 3, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2013 I got ya now, here my contribution, one I stumbled across awhile back and saved. An unknown Union Soldier of a unknown Colored Regiment circa 1865 with his family. He seems to be wearing a Corps badge? right, can any of our Civil War experts take a look see, what this will be for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvmhm Posted February 5, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2013 Photograph of Sergeant (shown here as a Corporal) William Graves, and his wife and daughter, and his Good Conduct Medal. Sgt. Graves was stationed in the Aleutians. This picture was part of large lot of pictures, letters, insignia, etc. that was going into the garbage after his widow passed away - luckily, my neighbor held onto it for me..

mvmhm Posted February 6, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2013 This is my wedding portrait taken in May 1988. Sorry for the quality, it was taken through glass at an angle. My wife and I were both on the Keesler AFB Honor Guard (I was the NCOIC of Mortuary Affairs). The Color Guard kept getting all the new women, so I asked my flight commander to put the next woman on my flight....I came to the building for practice and Anna was just getting her gear..I walked back out of the room and told my buddy to look in the supply room, that I was going to marry her. He laughed...well, I learned him a thing or two! She was a nationally registered EMT with an Ambulance qualification (one of only two to qualify in her class), and a Flight Surgeon's Medic. This was taken in May 1988. Mark sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark sends Going into the garbage! don't you just hate that, why always the garbage! It seems most people this day and age have no intelligence, common sense or logic, they in the main can't recognize things of certain vintage, if they recognize it as such, have a value to them? and thus should at least be given away, but I think that goes back to having intelligence right, being able to have the brains to recognize things as vintage, and not a piece of recent household crap to be thrown away. Sorry for my MILD rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ashooter Posted February 6, 2013 Share #11 Posted February 6, 2013 Kinda of grainy photo of my wedding at FE Warren AFB Chapel in 1981. My bride was a Lt. in personnel and I was a Lt. on a MMIII ICBM crew. I hated the white mess dress jacket. White isn't my color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my MILD rant. I also have a large portrait/painting of their son who served in the Navy in Vietnam. Sadly, his father pretty much disowned him later in life, and of course his stuff was thrown away; only the painting was left....but it happens all the time.

Wailuna Posted February 6, 2013 Share #17 Posted February 6, 2013 Great topic, Sarah. The name of the family in this picture is unknown, as are the date, place, and occasion (it might be a bridesmaid and her family but why does everyone look so somber?) However, the Army lieutenant is wearing 12th Cavalry Regiment DI and what appears to be an American Defense Service Medal ribbon, hence a ventured date WAG of ca. 1942.

In addition, the eagle on the Naval officer's lid is facing to the viewer's left (i.e., post 41). Any later and there would have probably been an American Campaign ribbon (or more).

hawk3370 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #20 Posted February 7, 2013 This is a picture of my dad and mom holding my sister just before he left for Germany in 1944. He was killed in November 44 in France as part of the 104th Inf Regt. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk3370 Posted February 7, 2013 Share #21 Posted February 7, 2013 Not a very good pic but didn't take many during the period. This is me and my grandfather (who raised me and my sisters after my father was killed during WW2). This pic was taken in 1978 when I commanded the 1st SF Company at Ft. Bragg.

Wailuna Posted February 7, 2013 Share #22 Posted February 7, 2013 Here’s a prolific family of vets: One dad (WWI?) and his five sons (WWII), all safe home from their wars ca. 1945 (n.b., this astonishing photo appeared on the Forum several years ago, thanks to “Mr-X” — link here to see the original posting).
