Edge Report post Posted November 11, 2023 Dad was just a 17 year old kid when this picture was taken at the Brooklyn Naval Yard, March 1944. Time to ship out. He dropped out of school the year prior to help support the family and joined the navy at 17, rather than wait to be drafted. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucafu1 Report post Posted November 11, 2023 Happy Veterans Day. I found this picture a year or two ago on facespace. This was Operation Mountain Sweep in Afghanistan in 2002. I am the crew chief/door gunner in the picture. That was a long interesting day. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
