These were my father's parents. My family has a long history of military service on my dad's side. No one on my mother's side ever served that I've found. Anyway, my great grandfather, Gustavus Adolphus Gunstream, was in the army during the Civil War. My grandfather, pictured above, was in the army during World War I.
My father, Walter Lee Gunstream, Jr, was in the army during World War II and Korea. He was born October 23, 1926, and died July 14, 1995.
I don't have a picture of myself in uniform, though I served in the Navy from 1989 to 1994.
I didn't sketch anything today. And I didn't weigh in. We had the day off of work, and I don't have a scale at home. I'll post my weight tomorrow.

What GREAT pictures, Becky!
I absolutely must buy a scanner and retrieve the family archives from my son Sam, who's holding them for me (and posterity) because I simply don't have the space for them.
You don't have a pic of yourself in uniform? Really? That's almost unforgivable! {big ol' grin}
Thank you Buck.
Actually, I do have some pictures of myself in uniform, just not formal portraits. They are packed away, though, and I'm not sure where they are. I'll see if I can find one and post it at a later date.
