Cigar Box Wednesday


For several years now I've been amassing WWII memorabilia with the thought of eventually doing an altered book about my dad and his service in the Army Air Corps. As a kid, I can remember looking through my parents' photo albums of pictures from that time, my dad's medals and stripes. I have no idea what happened to them.



So as I peruse thrift stores, flea markets, swap meets, antique fairs and eBay I've tried to recreate what I remember from the album and what I know of where my dad served, his rank etc.


I've found a vintage 78 record album of service songs - "Anchors Aweigh", "The Caissons go Marching Along", etc. and plan to use this as the substrata for the project. I'll keep you posted.
