It doesn't prove he served in WW1 but that is all I have.

But his age seems to indicate he was a WWI veteran, as you right.

I read the story from the link and looking at them in this photo and knowing they had no idea what lay ahead, something else.

I know little about the civil rights movement prior to the 1950s and 60s. I'm hoping a future post might tell more about Lamar's role in the civil rights movement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334949877564338451.post-70389520608845034112012-05-09T18:39:54.392-05:002012-05-09T18:39:54.392-05:00What a gorgeous picture!What a gorgeous picture!Andrea Kelleherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711352023496985469noreply@blogger.com
