The word prompt for the 12th Edition of Smile For The Camera is A Noble Life. Show us a photograph of an ancestor, relative, or friend that is the embodiment of A Noble Life. A life that is worthy of those who came before and those who follow after. A Life filled with small but courageous acts; filled with love and honor. A simple life, an ordinary life, A Noble Life. Bring them to the carnival and share with us how you've honored them. Admission is free with every photograph!
F/O Willis F. Evers
1920-1943
My submission for the 12th Edition of Smile For the Camera - A Noble Life is of my Uncle Willis Evers - I hope you will take time to read my submission for "The Carnival of Genealogy - Uncle-Uncle" - under my title of "Going Home - The Unexpected - Parts 1-10" - that tells his story.
Terri, you did a wonderful job telling your uncle's story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I can't imagine the feelings your family, especially your Dad, had at Willis' homecoming. So many young men and women have been (and continue to be) lost during wartime. It makes you wonder how it might have been, if only...
ReplyDeleteI will be watching for your story. Did you colorize this photo?
