Photo taken in the front yard of our post-wartime (1946) government housing in Arlington, Virginia. The address was 3422 A South Utah, which I see on Google maps is still a housing complex (our unit was under the red dot).
I'm held by my mom, who had to retire from her career as an American Airlines stewardess when she became pregnant with me. Dad was a Navy lieutenant stationed stateside. Mom's sister Ona, on the right, was in the WAVES.
Posted to share with family and as a relief from doomscrolling.
I remember those Americans, just like my mother and her sister. Mother worked as a parachute packer while dad was serving overseas during WWII. They were the Greatest Generation this country ever produced. Cheers to your mom and Ona! Something to be proud of during these troubled times. Thanks for your blog!
