Veterans Day



This US Army 1st Lieutenant's name was Chester.  He was one of hundreds of thousands of men who fought for the Allies in WWII.  Details surrounding this photo are sparse; I know it was taken sometime in 1942 or '43, and it's believed to be somewhere in California.

I don't know much about the man, either.  I don't know anything about his personality, his likes or dislikes, his habits.  I didn't even know he existed until half a year ago, to be honest.

Chester was my grand-uncle.  He passed away many years ago.  I never met him.

On this Veterans Day, I'm proud to say that I'm related to him.

And to finally get a chance to say Thank You.
