Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

One hundred years ago my grandfather was in France, and not on holiday. Here's a Christmas card he sent home from the front. He was in the famed 78th "Lightning" Division. He entered the military on September 27, 1917, when he was 25 years old.

Battery F 309 Field Artillery Sep 17, 1917-Jul 1, 1918; Supply Company, 309 Field Artillery July 10, 1918 - May 1, 1919.

I have been meaning to post this image of his helmet which has the division insignia painted on it. I also have his Victory Medal.

His son and namesake was a B-17 waist gunner during WWII who completed 51 missions, including two crash landings. On one, he was in hand-to-hand knife combat, killing a German soldier to save his own life. His last mission was over Linz, Austria where he was severely injured, but after a year in the hospital survived.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

 

P.S in case your wondering, these socks are filled with chew toys for all the rescue pups

we have permanently adopted into our home.

I though it made for a kind of Christmassy image.
