the girl who went to war

 

The Silent Wings Museum has an exhibit that replicates a World War II barracks.  Makes you wonder how many GIs had similar photos of sweethearts in their kits. Hopefully the veterans ended up with the girl back home.

 



 



salute to veterans

 

Today we honor veterans.  During the war, two service men from New Deal met up in Los Angeles.  Billy Fortenberry, the Marine navigator, and Raymond Pearce, the Navy Seabee, visited Raymond's brother W.J.  These two veterans, in their eighties, both served in the Pacific Theater and represent the "greatest generation."
