Shorty and Charlie were issued these uniforms.

They took this photo and hung it on bulletin board. The General ordered the two into his office and he ordered for Shorty and Charlie to be issued the best fitting uniforms that could be found.

Shorty (on the left) died from drowning in his parent's farm while on leave.

Charles O'Bryan (on the right) married In 1953 and he has 2 angels and 3 living girls and two living son-in- laws. He and his wife will celebrate their 64th wedding anniversary in January 2017.

Charlie has 3 sisters and 8 brothers. Four of his oldest brothers were served in WWII during the same time. Three of his brothers died recently.

Hope you enjoy this photo from army days!
