Memorial Day in Family Photos
In honor of Memorial Day a not so often seen photo of Dad in uniform getting his picture taken at the USO.
Also a photo of Uncle Eddie in his Marine uniform.(Yes, I know I should go on my program and fix the spots on his face, but I don't have the time right now.)
Then just to show that I was in the Army, a photo of me and Judy taken way back in January of 1969.

Nice photos, Blaine. Just not enough
of them.
Seeing the one of Uncle Eddie reminded me of a story he told me about the uniform he is wearing in the photo.
When he was stationed at Norfork, before being shipped out to the Pacific, he and a buddy had guard
duty one morning. The uniform ordered
was the one in the photo. So the two
of them decided to iron just the collar and cuffs of the shirt, as
that is all you can see with the coat on. During the guard duty, it began to get hot, and the order came out to remove the jackets and stand guard with the shirt, and now there they were in a wrinkled mess.
He said they got in a lot of trouble for that. But he still got shipped to the Pacific.
Wonderful pictures, Blaine. I never realized how much you look like your Dad until I saw pictures of him when he was young. I love the picture of you and Judy- you both look so young, so cute!
Yes, Laura "so YOUNG, so cute" and so very very long ago. (Judy of course looks just the same.)
Yes.
How does she DO that?!
