Tim shared this photo.
“I just saw this picture for the first time last night. We were at my father-in-law’s house, Edward Gentile, from RI, looking through his old Marine photo album from 1950-54. This picture is him driving on the Marine Base in Cuba checking the outside perimeter in 1951. It looks to be a WWII Jeep. He turns 88 Easter Day.
Sad to say, and hard to believe, but we are now at a point in history where we have not only lost most of our WWII veterans, but we are now even losing many of our Korean War vets. Both my dad and my step-father served during this time and neither is with us any longer.”
Thanks Dave. This will mean a lot to the whole Gentile family.

Thank Mr. Gentile for his service for me… the blocks laid years ago remain the foundation for what we have to this day-
Dave, did you mean Cuba?
Thanks John. I did mean Cuba. They are only a half world apart, right? 🙂
