Corpral Albert, U.S.Army - Korea 1952
Ok, here is the story behind this picture. Dad was in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, 1951-1953. This picture was taken by a photo journalist that was accompanying my father's unit. The Korean's posted this banner out in the field as a form of "propaganda" and of course my father decided he wanted to go out there and retrieve it. He was told not to but for some reason he did it anyways. When he returned with the banner he was photographed holding it up and the picture was published in the newspapers back home in NY. Mom stumbled on that picture when it was in the paper. She was unaware that it was taken. Check it out, its really cool.
