Love looking at my dad's photo album from North Africa - came through right after the humiliation of Kasserine Pass.
He was recon - drove a light tank - ended up hitting a mine in Italy after Anzio.
Hard to believe he was just 18, 19 years old.

God Bless your father and, hoping he survived the mine and that he is still alive, thank him for his brave service.
We need to honor and remember those who served in WWII.
Dr. Strangelove was one of my favorites...hence my name and tagline
