Status: offline 		This is a pic of my Grandfather (Dad's Dad) in Early Jan 1945 after completing basic in Maryland. As a Foreman at a Coal Mine in southern WV, he was not selected for service until Dec 1944. With 3 children, and being 35 years old, he was one of last big drafts for Pacific War. The issue was still in doubt in Dec '44.....

Can you complete the line with the big photo? I think some of the text disappeared.
