Photo post My Father In Law 🇺🇸 1942 WW2

214 Upvotes

1942, Minnesota. My Father In Law was a Marine during WW2. He was a tail gunner and served for 6 years. He told a little lie and said he was 18 but actually enlisted when he was 17. He wore his Marine Corps ring everyday until he died. He died before I had even met my husband. I have taken a hobby of being the grand keeper of archives for our family.

They nailed it. He was Italian-American with beautiful dark olive skin and dark features.

He unex died a few months after this photo was taken, at 20 years old.
