I never served Joie, but I appreciate all that have, I passed a church today at eleven and people were laying wreaths, I stood for a minute or two to reflect, it was a very poignant moment.

In honor of my Dad. Believe this one was taken in Palermo.


Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Which one is your dad?

What caught my attention is what looks like shell markings on the wall next to them...

2nd from then left. When not repairing LSTs in Tunisia and Sicily as a Metalsmith Petty Officer, he was on shore patrol. Picking a 5-6, 120 lb metal worker for SP (including hauling huge drunk Marines out of bars was quite a decision).
His closest "encounter" was a missed torpedo attack on his convoy on the way over. Least that was his story. RIP, sailor. :patriot:

Not exactly in full uniform but you get the idea.

Great photos everyone, thanks for posting them. I've never served but I wanted to add something here anyway. For all the Veterans here, out there and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of what you Have done & Are doing, I am Free. I've Never truly known the horror's of war, but my heart aches for the thousands of lives lost.....
I am eternally greatful to You, for without your sacrifices, life as I know it would not exist. May God Bless you Always.

I believe that there is an explanation for everything, so, yes, I believe in miracles. ~Robert Brault
