December 2, 1944 – These two lovebirds had just “tied the knot.” It didn’t hit me until one of my later visits home, when I had the opportunity to look through “the trunk” again, just how young these two really were. My grandfather always looked young, but when I realized that they were just 18 and 19 years old, newlyweds, and he was just 6 months into the Army, and getting ready to enter into the World War II …how absolutely crazy they must’ve been about each other at the time.
