My Uncle David was proud all his life of his time served in WWII. This is a favorite picture of mine.

July 4th is often a time of family and family reunions.

20-1

My brother, Mark, and his wife, Leigh, just visited us. Leigh gave me a bunch of photos she had scanned into her laptop.  Above,  second from right is my grandmother, Dorothy Roeder Jenkins. Not sure about anyone else in this pic, but it has a summer feeling.

Correction: S(taff?)/Sargent William A.P. Jenkins was my Father’s cousin.  According to Dad’s memoirs he was called Phil (for Phillip) and served in the Marines in the above story. After his discharge he re-enlisted and made the Air Force his career. I would guess the A initial might stand for Alexander.

I think of the Jenkins family more like this pic of Granpap (my Great Grandfather) probably with one of his sons.

My father’s oldest brother, David, served in WWII.

This is very much in character of how I remember my Uncle Dave.

I think both of my uncles served in the military.

I think this is my uncle David. Not sure. But it reminds me of his son, my cousin, Fred.

Can't resist adding this pic of my father (on left) heartbreakingly young.
Can't resist adding this pic of my father (on left) heartbreakingly young. Not sure who is with him. Dad never served in the military.
I love this picture of my Mom. Is she a new bride in a new kitchen? Sure looks like it.
I love this picture of my Mom. Correction: Mom says this is her kitchen in Greeneville Tennessee.
Then there's the Jenkins who served in the marines. My beloved son, David.

  2. The picture that Mom thinks is of uncle Jonnie (I am pretty sure there’s no “h” in his name)… I agree with her… The person next to Dad in the picture where he is heartbreakingly young is his cousin Phil of whom you write earlier in the post.
