On Armistice Day remembering my grandfathers.

Here is my Grandpa Red’s Army Air Corps jacket, his Distinguished Flying Cross, his Mandarin to English interpreter documents.

And the other is a unique find. When they called for an end to the war, my grandfather on my mom’s side (called “Sodie” for his love of soda pop), drew this picture via V-Mail and sent it to his sister. Date: 1944.

They shall beat their swords into plowshears.
