Anyone have pics of family in service?

[Army]

Here's a few of my Dad in WWII.

Dad, in his finest livery:

And his crew, he's at the front left;

[Army]

His plane "Miss Mac" named for the pilots Mom. Dad was the Bombardier, so his office was the clear plexiglass nose. The pic on the right, was when the gear was shot out, and they had to belly it in back in England....not the first time they went down.

[Army]

Here they are in France, after three engines were shot dead. Everyone survived, and made it back to England by way of French partisans.

[Army]

As always for soldiers and airmen, there is always time for a little goofing off. That's Dad in the German helmet, holding his chief mechanic "prisoner"!

Post'em up if you've got'em!

Take pride in your family's service to the country!

My dad has got a few of him at his base during vietnam. He flew Cobra helicopters. And then my grandfather (deceased) has a whole album from when he was in the navy in the 40s. Not sure if my scanner is working...

Thumbs up to your father and many many like him.

sweet army...hooah to your dad, those B-17s got shot up real bad but did a great job over germany.

I have no pics of my dad in the service because for the majority of the time he was in, he was in a classified intel. job in west germany (1960s).

Great pictures Army! I have two relatives who graduated from WestPoint. My uncle on my dad side was in Vietnam, and my cousins husband is currently in the Army National Guard and was previously in the Army Reserves. On my mom side, I think my great uncle was a pilot for the Philipine Army. My grand father was in the Philipine Army and his brother was in the US Army as a cook.

I can't find any pictures of my dad at the moment, but here are the medals he won.

A Silver Star, Two Purple hearts (One for a piece of shrapnal in his leg, the other for what took him out of the war, getting third degree burns over his entire body, chest down), a Bronze Star, and the other one I'm not sure of, I'll have to ask him about that again.

He drove an M42A1 Anti-Aircraft tank in Vietnam, called the "Duster". If you ever watch any of the old WWII footage that shows the anti aircraft guns on the side of Warships, that have the top loading and clip fed 40mm ammo, those were the same guns on my Dad's tank.

And yes, the patch in the upper left corner is upside down, my uncle made that case as a suprise for my dad, and had to guess at the position of it...

I know the pics are around here somewhere, I'll try and get the pics up as soon as I can...
