| Daddy and Baggs in Grandma's front yard |
The only scrapbook Daddy ever assembled was the one that began with his Army pictures. A couple years before he died, he gave the bulging book to me.
When I saw those wonderful candid shots of Army buddies relaxing in their fatigues, smoking cigars, playing volleyball and generally having fun, I knew I had to share them. What if the other dads in the pictures shipped off to Korea and didn't return? These images could be among their last.
Enter Wordless Wednesday 2012. I'll be posting photos from my dad's collection once a week for the rest of the year. The pictures were taken between 1949 and 1953 when my dad served in the 17th Company STR in Fort Benning Georgia and Battery D 71st AAA Gun Battalion in Fort Belvoir Virginia.
Did my dad know your dad? If so, he may be in the scrapbook. Stay tuned!

Quite wonderful and thoughtful! I will enjoy looking at them every Wednesday. I hope there are connections that you can also write about. Good luck!
Thank you Lynne! Connections would be truly wonderful and I promise to share.
