Show us their hats!

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

Great photo DD. I can't even imagine what he must have seen. God bless him.

My dad. He was about 10 years old here so it would have been about 1921. I like his hat and he won this pony and buggy at their local grocery store in a drawing in Belgrade, Nebraska.

Film star Hoot Gibson. Born at Tekamah, Nebraska just 21 miles down the road from where I live. The Rodeo arena in Tekamah is named after him. Love this hat.

One of the best I've ever seen around here, Scott. Thanks for sharing this.

@Cornshucker77, Scott, I keep going back and looking at the photo of your dad. Besides how great a pic it is and what good fortune it is for you to have it, what a helluva win. Double sprung buggy with an articulating axle and diamond tufted seats. The pony is sporting brand new, good looking harness leathers. The pony looks suspect, though.

I was wondering who took off her dress?

Maybe J. Edgar Hoover was attending.

An out of the cabinet meeting?

Thanks Greg. That Pony was an ornery thing. Dad was the only one who could ride him. If anyone else rode him he threw them off. If anyone else rode him bareback he ran straight for the water tank and slid up to it with his head down and the rider would on more than one occasion slide over the neck and head into the water. LOL But yes Dad was pretty proud of this rig.

I thought of that too, but it must have been during one of his svelte periods.

Great pic & family history Scott. We had a pony that would wait until you were about 3/4 mi going away from home, then lower his head, slide you off & head back home leaving you to walk.

He must have been related to my dad's pony.

...........and by the way, I didn't get his luck. The only thing I ever won was a Trojan seed corn coffee cup tree at the county fair. Damn.

Just caught this movie the other day on TV........The Professionals with Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster. Ralph Bellamy wore a couple nice hats that appeared to be Open Roads, but I can't find a good photo of those.
