Note: On newspaper clippings, I added [Pa] after mentions of
city.
I used the 1940s commonly used newspaper abbreviation with cap+small
letter,
rather than today's capitalization of abbreviations for States,
such as PA.

| Note: It's hard to type the news about so
many men who gave their young lives for our
country. Some are standing in front of their
autos, proudly showing off their possession and their
military uniform. Between the crew cuts, the
puffed out chests, and the old cars, I kept
thinking of my dad who would be now 75 years old (he
died at age 42). He looked much like these
dark-haired boys, and had a 1948 Chevy up until 1970
when he died. Born in 1931, my dad was too young
for WWII but watched every war movie on TV. He had
entered the Navy with his brother, but was given a
medical discharge after being knocked unconscious during
a boxing match on the Navy's boxing team. He never
served again, but he always seemed like he regretted not
having seen war. It was something I never
understood as a child, but I realize now how his
unfilled mission was because he was so strongly
patriotic. Most of the young men on these pages,
so full of hope for their future, never got to finish
their lives. |
