That’s is amazing! What year is the photo? The greatest generation! The photo has George H W Bush in it also? How neat is that!

Thank you for sharing

The picture was taken in 1945, I have the name list of everyone in the photo.  GHW Bush signed it in 1986 at a reunion. The original is probably 4' long and rolled up in one of my dresser drawers.
You may want to think about putting it behind glass, or store flat to preserve it without damage. I found a similar service photo of my Fathers rolled up that had started cracking.
