That’s a real man, right there. A real he-man, someone who walked real tall, head and shoulders above others. My father was a machine gunner with the 3rd Army, he served in Italy after landing in North Africa. He was in Anzio at the beachhead. I have his dress coat and some of his war mementos. I also have a suitcase full of his letters gone to his girl, my mother - his wife to be, and letters to his mother as well as war correspondence related to other family who were serving at the same time. The world was a different place back then. This man and my father lived through meat grinders. Wounded a couple of times, but survived the onslaughts, time after time. God bless, and rest those boys-turned-men. God bless America. 🇺🇸
