Left. Hey that’s me (Anthony Jr.) in an Army jeep that my dad brought home after his annual 2 week maneuvers at Camp Drum, NY. Circa 1961. He used to bring me home real neat stuff like fired 30-06 cases, web gear, and army food. Right. CWO 4 Anthony Sr. posing in front of rows of mechanized artillery and tanks. One of my favorite pictures of my dad when I was growing up as a kid. This picture sits on my dresser and I look at it every day!
