Soldiers would recover Lucite from downed airplanes and form it into transparent grips for their pistols. They would then add a photo under creating this unique war art.

That’s really awesome. Only one small reason why they are the greatest generation

I hope they find their way to the museum in NOLA. I would love to see those pieces.

Damn, these guys needed pornhub.

Yeah, those are very cool pistols and belong in a museum.

This one is my favorite. Just something sexy about the gun and the pose. Perfectly matched for the time period

What a generation!


My Dad & my hero. RIP



My Mom (92). Love her so much



Dad said the guys drove him crazy wanting to see her photo. He kept it in his helmet.

When he got back after 38 months.

Your Dad looked like a man not to be messed with!

My Dad was part of that same generation- he was in the Pacific. Those men were tough- and had to be. They overcame some serious odds. God Bless them all.

I can't say I completely agree with you. While that generation should get full credit for fighting WWII, I can say without a doubt, the military post 9/11 to 2010 would have had no problems stomping a mud hole in Hitler's arse.

I do not deny that at all.

I was speaking in terms of the entire generation, not just isolating the soldiers.

I was assuming you were including the women. They were as tough as a railroad spike because they needed to be.
