That's so poignant. I never served in the military. My father was a young man during WW II but he was so nearsighted they just put him in the National Guard in an armory on the east side of Manhattan. It's good to be reminded.
I have lived in Birmingham most of my life. I think it's a beautiful, friendly, and interesting place to live. I hope that my daily photographs portray the diversity of my hometown in a positive and artistic way.
