To all you vets out there.....

My Dad and his brother Eddie.  Dad was US Army Signal Corps.  His unit, 1st Signal Service Platoon (Special), was the US militarys first electronic counter-measure unit.  They utilized radar jamming equipment, Dad was a steel tower rigger having been a telephone lineman before being drafted.  First deployment was to the Aleutian Islands after the Japanese invasion there.  Then it was off to North Africa and Corsica for a while.  Back to the states for a break then it was Iwo Jima in late February of '45.  Uncle Eddie served in the Coast Guard.




The guy on the left is Dad's youngest brother Urban who served in the Artillery.  Urban was killed in Belgium in Dec. '44 during the Battle of the Bulge.
