May 1951, General MacArthur wearing civilian clothes for the first time in 12 years stands for the National Anthem at a Giants-Phils game. First big league game he had been able to attend since 1935!

On this 75th anniversary of D-day, a picture of my father. He participated at Omaha beach, providing medical care.

It's nice that you have that photo of him, DD.
You just know the man on the far right is giving the man in the center crap about something!

Is MacArthur holding a homburg? The brim looks wider than common homburgs, but the bound and curled edge and gutter crease sure looks homburgish to me. Maybe it’s just the angle that makes the brim look so wide?

An appropriate day to post this picture of hats! One of the favorites of my collection!
7-12-43 CHECK YOUR HATS FOR THE DURATION
A.O. Wetzel, proprietor of an Oak Park Illinois Drug Store, keeps hats nicely labeled, of all his customers who have entered the services, Army, Navy, Marines and even the WAVES............
On the far left helping Wetzel in the picture is Mrs. John L. Davidson Jr. Whose husband is overseas, and Rosemary Tye (center) who has three brothers in uniform.

They were all hero's in my opinion! My Father continued through France, into Belgium, where he also endured Battle of the Bulge.

Interesting; looks like they were nailed to the wall.

Probably tacks...a little steam and gentle rubbing with the fingers easily erases such holes......
I should have noted when I posted that one of the girls pictured had three brothers in the army. I will add that information along with her name to the post when I get home...
PS: I HAVE now updated my post above with information on the women in the picture!
