Sailor Men

While Pa was here, he got curious. He had me bring his old Navy suit (dress blues) from his house to see if one of the boys could fit into them. This suit is in amazing shape for being made in 1943! So, here's Tiger (who is the same height as Pa) showing his "guns"....hahaha!
Can you see Pa's face? It was a little emotional for him. What an incredible thing to see your Great-grandson in your uniform!
It was great having him here. I still like to sit and listen to his stories. You should hear his testimony of how he found God on the ship (LST 474). Amazing what God does in your life, when you least expect it.
Also, the boys thought they should try a new "hat" on Pa, since he had a "hankerin" for KFC.
Did I mention Pa has an "onery" sense of humor?
Sorry, for the poor quality. I will find my real camera.....eventually.
