Edge Report post Posted March 23, 2021 Looking through an old photo album I'd come across untitled, undated pics of a tall, lanky young man. He's wearing a khaki outfit and judging from the old cars and uniform style, I guess it was taken early 1940s. No relations from that generation are alive to tell me who some of these people from nearly a century ago are. An old aunt gave me the photos, she thinks he's maybe a nephew or cousin. She wasn't around yet when the family settled in Phoenix after the Mexican Revolution. She was an uncle's 2nd wife. Yesterday while looking online for more info on my great grandfather, I found a cousin named for him. He's the man in my photo album wearing the khakis. Guess you could say he was a hunter. Hunting the enemies of the United States. Lots of info about him exists on the internet, turns out he was a pretty good pilot serving in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Winning 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 3 Air Medals and achieving Ace status piloting the P-38. Much respect. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
