What great photos Dave "The Grok" Rooster!  I love it.  So awesome, and yes I know I'm glad your Grandmother and Grandfather met so you could honor us with your presence.

Thanks Dave and THANK YOU for giving us what Carl would've looked like in that photo in color.  That's wonderful!

You're welcome Shannon.  It's always neat when you get to see information on one of your family members that no one has ever seen before and being able to share it with your family.  It's an awesome looking helmet.  I'm glad it survived the play in the 60's.  Take care and God Bless!🇺🇸

You're welcome.  That is interesting about you buying the leggings in Columbus, OH.  Pretty neat.  Congrats!

Definitely a postwar add on to existing veterans uniform.
