When looking at photos of military men taken during times of war I always feel so sad for them. They bravely defended our country and yet their lives and minds were so changed by what they saw and lived through. I think it would be a great tribute to your father to post his photos. As TB suggested, you could keep them on this blog and add a tab at the top. And I like your new header image.

After I did a Sepia Saturday post on my FIL during WW2 when he was a Navy Sea Bea in Guam, and I found a Navy Sea Bee website, and gave them the link to my blog post. I continue to get lots of hits on it from their site. I'm sure that there are other WW2 vet sites that would love your photo, or a link to your blog when you get it done. On another note, thanks to your Dad for fighting to keep America safe.
