This is Joe’s father, aka Pa. I never had the opportunity to meet him. He passed away years before I met my husband. I do not know all of his military history but this will be one of my projects this fall. I want to get it all documented for the family.
He had an album of his military service. It has his photos, letters, plus more photos, propaganda cards from captured prisoners from Germany etc. It is packed with amazing pieces of history!
This particular photo has his caption “My First Uniform Fort Knox”.
This is my Dad. I think he served in Korea in the early 60’s. There are so many questions you want to ask someone but you don’t and when they are gone it is lost forever. Stories that I might have been bored with when I was younger I crave for them now. I am going to ask my aunts and other family for more information.No matter how you feel about war please honor our vets. Spend 2 minutes today at 11:00 am remembering all those who gave for our freedom.

My dad served in Korea too. Airforce.
Oh, and DAMN! You look just like your dad!
Yes it was Korea during the 60's, but before 65. I would have to think about it but he was in Korea. Aren't I a wealth of knowledge? Grandma Sue
