I found a couple old photos of my dad and his brother when they were in the service back in the 1940's.
Pictured at left is my uncle Lawrence Franklin and below my dad, Gene Franklin. I know my dad was 18 when he joined in 1944 and served two years until 1946. My grandfather Charles Clinton Franklin died in early 1946 while dad was still in the Navy, so he missed the funeral.
Thankful for their service to our country!
