i thought you guys would like to hear about this. post replies on wat happened to you or what your thoughts are on this.

My father was too young to see active duty in WWII, however, my father in law left hom in West Virginia to join up (even though he was underage) and was assigned to the 36th Texas Infantry. He saw action in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France (was hospitalized during the Normandy landings with one of two wounds he suffered) and Belgium. During the North Africa landings he was photographed by a Life photographer and his picture has beenwidely used.

He's the young looking kid with the net on his helmet.
