Austin R Posted November 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2011 I thought it would be interesting if we all posted our ancestors’ Military Photographs. Moderators can we let the foreign rule slide for our international members and descents of immigrants. I will start it off My Grandfather during WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted November 5, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2011 My dad was too young for WWII, so he couldn't enlist until early 1946. He retired after 20 years, and spent 7 of those years as an airship rigger and crewman, something he loves to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
