Your husband should be quit familiar with Tom Lea, then, whose work with WW II Marines in the Pacific is well known. He also did some interesting work in the southwest after the war.<BR/><BR/>As time matches on, I have the fear that our collective memories of WW II will slip, too. Can't let that happen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Deborah.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-15220828252647760742009-03-29T07:59:00.000-07:002009-03-29T07:59:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this Casey- I look forward to s...Thanks for posting this Casey- I look forward to seeing how the memorial develops. Your desire to honor your father and his unit touches me deeply. As I think I shared before, my father (now departed) was WWII veteran who saw heavy combat in Europe (Bastogne and Battle of the Bulge). Also, my husband was a combat artist in the Marine Corp in Vietnam (at age 18!). So, these things run deeply in our house.Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-26628671334198446942009-03-27T07:14:00.000-07:002009-03-27T07:14:00.000-07:00And don't forget, these guys who skied and climbed...And don't forget, these guys who skied and climbed around Mt Rainier, Washington and in the Colorado Rockies also had the time of their life. Their fond memories go along with the tough ones, I understand. Thanks, Corrine.<BR/><BR/>Maybe some Willy and Joe in there, huh, Miki? Thanks for the compliment. The page certainly had a lot of lookers - so it is gratifying in that. Can't wait to see the final work, myself.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-49085300847400569722009-03-27T06:36:00.000-07:002009-03-27T06:36:00.000-07:00This sketch reminds me of many of the WWII artists...This sketch reminds me of many of the WWII artists.
