Dad is 88 and under hospice care in a nursing home....

..just recently I brought over an 8 x 10 of dad from that era when he was in uniform...

..dad was movie star handsome in the 1940's and the cheekbones and bright blue eyes remain, as then.

I recently found some letters (written during the war years)...to his mom and dad and brother....

..at the top of the letterhead, he wrote...'somewhere in India'....

He was always very proud of his service....
