This is my Army basic training graduation from eighteen years ago. That's my dad in the red flannel shirt watching and my mom in the long jacket. I'm directly in front of my dad with the private first class on my shoulder. My parents were so proud of this moment and it brings tears to my eyes looking at this old photo.Leah J. Utas is the force behind Photo-Finish Friday.
Holy Mackerel! That was a long time ago wasn't it? I told my folks to stay away from Alabama lol. I've got my platoon's photo floating around somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you for keeping record of such older photo. It’s seems really great. Feeling glad by finding your blog!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteJay, My sister found this undeveloped roll of film that had been sitting in her closet for the eighteen years! I'll send you the others and I gotta say I look uncomfortable in most of the shots. But I'm glad to have them now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Andy.
It's so amazing to see such pictures, to see people at particular points in their lives, after those lives have changed. Thanks for sharing, man.
ReplyDeleteI bet that brought back a flood of memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo and to have found it after all these years! Your daughter will appreciate looking at it when she is older.
