Would like to know more about the women veterans too.
Re the wives of WWII veterans, almost none of them would talk to me, when I was interviewing on the topic of the war, about their own experiences during that time or how things went when their men came home. I understand that some GIs were told upon discharge not to discuss their experiences. But I wonder about the women being so reticent to say anything at all.
Great idea and nice jester to honor veterans. All we have to do now is to put names on these faces. In the first group, in the first frame middle row is Al Desrosiers, my neighbor in High Bridge.

I recognize Leo Hill, Bill's great uncle Reino Kivela and my uncle Oscar Somero and Leonard "Easter" Kangas. Also, I think, Paul Krook.
