Wailuna Posted February 16, 2008 #10 Posted February 16, 2008 As we are taking a tour of Wisconsin, here's one from Milwaukee, October 8, 1941. The soldier was stationed at Presidio of Monterey, Calif., where the couple had their first home together. The other couple are the witnesses, his brother and her sister.

BEAST Posted February 19, 2008 #12 Posted February 19, 2008 Here is my contribution, a nice photo of an ATC aircrew member. Have you noticed how many of these photos are USAAF?

Jim Baker Posted March 5, 2008 #15 Posted March 5, 2008 These are so cool. It's kind of sad that so many of these have gotten away from the families. Last November was the first time I had seen a photo of my grandmother as a young girl. She has been dead for years and the photos were in the possession of my now elderly aunt who mailed them to my mother. It was strange as I had only seen her, and remembered her, as an old woman. Keep them coming.
ww2vault Posted November 5, 2008 #16 Posted November 5, 2008 This is indeed a very interesting thread! These wedding/couple photos are really neat. I just acquired my first couples wedding photo today. This belonged to a Hispanic fellow in the Army Ground Forces Reserves named, George C. Romero. He sure found and married a nice lady. - Jeff
