My grandfather (standing, far right) and some of his fellow USAAF comrades in Cairo during World War II.
Another picture of my grandfather during the war. He is in Iraq.

My great-uncle. Flew B-17 bombers. 549th Squadron, 385th Bomb Group out of Great Ashfield, England. Flew 35 missions including two on D-Day.
My great-grandparents. My great-grandfather was an artilleryman who served in France during World War I. They were married in 1919, and he left the Army in 1920 after serving for six years.
My great-great-great uncle. He was a lieutenant with the 9th Louisiana Infantry Regiment, CSA (the original Fighting Tigers) during the Civil War. This photo is from the early 1900's in his United Confederate Veterans uniform.

Bob Feller, Hall in Fame pitcher who enlisted Dec 9 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor:
Born in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, the right-hander signed with Cleveland for $1 and an autographed baseball in 1936, when he was still in high school. Armed with a blazing fastball, Feller went directly to the Majors and was a rookie star at the age of 17 for the Indians, striking out 15 batters in his first big league start, 10 in his fourth and 17 in his fifth.
Feller, who was a gun captain aboard the USS Alabama, was discharged from the Navy on Aug. 22, 1945, earning six campaign ribbons and eight battle stars. Two days later, he donned his familiar No. 19 and took the mound for Cleveland once again, firing a complete game with 12 strikeouts in a 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers.

It was too cold for the Bronx Zoo groundhog to come out on February 2, 1958. The sign read "Don't call me, I'll call you. signed, G. Hog."

Great pictorial family history. I know that two of my great grandfathers served in the Civil war for the South. One from Shelby County Alabama, and the other from Acadia Parish Louisiana. No pictures though,

She puts me in mind of Mary Tyler Moore in that pic except for the long hair.
