Once a Marine . . . Always a Marine

This Marine fought in the South Pacific.
My Dad (now deceased) also fought as a Marine in the South Pacific.

(I shot 905 frames today at the Hancock County Fair. Several hundred shots were with Ohio's First Lady. Many of these photographs can be viewed in my gallery "Hancock County Fair - 2010." None were more important to me than this shot.)

Nikon D40
1/25s f/4.2 at 26.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thank you for taking my Dad's picture. He is 85 years old and recently has begun talking about his experience in the war. His details about the war are still sharp. He served two years in the South Pacific without coming home during that time, fighting on the islands of New Hybrides and Pelelu.
