Subject: RE: To Honor Veterans
I have many photos of my father and his friends, and others of my relatives, from when they were in the Service. The sad part is that I have no way of knowing who the friends are -- a first name is kind of meaningless.

The same situation pertains to a few pictures that date from when he was in the Civilian Conservation Corps.

My father was killed in a construction accident when I (the oldest) was 5 and my mother died in 1981.

Note who's in the photos before it's too late. Full names, the unit, where it was taken, when -- whatever information you can glean. I have photos taken by my brothers from the Vietnam time and they can no longer identify the people....
