"If you take a look at the man in the front with the Garand in the
plastic bag that was my Uncle Steve on the way to Utah Beach. The VFW
Magazine had that picture on the front of the magazine for the
anniversary. We never knew they were going to put him on there. He was an
old man in a recliner and when a family member saw the cover they said
"Steve that looks like you" he glanced over for a minute and then said
"That is me". The second pic is of the 50 year plate that was issued. My
uncle is the soldier on the plate. We have lost all but a few of the
greatest generation.

Keep you powder dry,
