Remember the old Johnny Cash song, "A boy named Sue"? I think P/O Miller's parents might have been motivated by the same principle. Looks like it worked!

I use Microsoft Publisher which is part of the Microsoft Office package.

 

I barely know how to us it, but I managed to figure out how to copy and paste photos onto the page. Once you figure it out you can crop and size two photos in a minute or two.

 

 

James Mason as Irwin Rommel in "The Desert Fox"

Richard Todd as Major John Howard at "Pegasus Bridge" in The Longest Day. ( Todd was actually "there" on D-Day with the British Airborne boys)

How about Burgess Meredith as Ernie Pyle in "The Story of G.I. Joe?" Maybe one of you computer savvy guys can post a comparison photo!

Here's a photo of the two of them actually appearing side by side when Ernie visited the set of "The Story Of G.I. Joe".
