I’ve inherited some old pictures of my great-grandfather in uniform, as well as his Purple Heart. We’ve framed the pictures and awards. But I’d like the internet’s help to learn more about him. The photos may be obvious but I’m a total civilian. I figured this subreddit would be a good place for something like that, or at least some direction. Any help would be appreciated!
