My dad and grand dad in WWI & WWII

[futuresoptions]

Over the past few weeks, I have been rummaging through pictures that my sister (family historian) has been hoarding over the years. I had never seen these pictures before and figured I would share them with you guys...


Excuse the poor quality, these are digital pictures of the original photos, not scans.

Not war related, grandpa and a white tail, check out the car in the background!



What do you do after the war? You go buy a cabin in Colorado and drink some whiskey!



Thanks for your service Dad and Grandpa, love you guys very much... may you rest in peace...

Thank you for sharing awesome pictures for you to cherish. I guess you could call our family fortunate that we have always been in between wars age wise.

Yes, thanks very very much to your dad and grandfather for their service. You have a LOT to proud of Bill!

Thanks for sharing those photos - I especially loved the one of your Dad on the sub by his gun.

Those were some amazing years in our world's history. Good to look back and reflect on where we are today and how many sacrificed to give us what we have.

Color me thankful to all were served!

My Dad and Grandfather were also in the Navy BTW. '39-'59 for my Dad.

Mind if I get in on this? Here's a neat pic and story about my Dad. Can't recall if I ever posted this before. My Dad is the one in the middle with the Errol Flynn mustache.
