Fraternization

Blasted woods and shattered ruins of the ancient Benedictine abbey of Monte Cassino after the various battles of Rome/Monte Cassino had passed over (and over) them.  Best regards, JR.

Monte Cassino - after the battles.

Alvin Cullum York was a WWI American soldier and medal of honor recipient.  He is one of my ancestors.  During WW2 he tried to re-enlist in the Army but was denied because of his age.  He went on war bond tours and made appearances at events that supported the war effort, he was also involved with military recruiting as well as inspection tours of American soldiers in training.
