Here's my dad's photo. It was taken in July 1944 at Parris Island. He was high shooter in his platoon and they sent the photo and a press announcement to our local paper. My grandmother happened to be a proofreader at the paper and was able to keep the original photo and the press release. I have it hanging in a case in my den with a "place holder" Garandwaiting for the day when I might find the original.
