ok, so....seems my paternal kin asked my family for a picture of my dad, to be shown along side his 3 grown brothers, as well as my brother and my cousin who also served...in a display in the little country church next door to the house my grandmother moved to after she left the family farm/homestead......i have never seen this picture before...taken in 1947....about the time he was in japan.....i do have a lacquer box he brought back from japan, as well as a silk scarf made from a contraband parachute.....and 2 sets of sake cups.......but this photo trumps my collection of memorabilia.....for my own record....my dad lost his eldest brother to the spanish flu epidemic in 1918, and his youngest brother to a brain aneurysm in the 40's......
