1954, eh? That means my rifle could be in that picture...
Yep, 1954. That's my father in law in the back row second from left with the big smile after being drafted at age 19. His unit shipped out to Japan shortly after this picture was taken. They were there until 1956.
He passed away last month. I'm in the process of scanning photos from his albums onto the computer and came across this great picture. He had never shown it to me before.
