Army, Marines, Navy, family update!

Now here this… Arne and Suzanne have followed up with the Captain as ordered.  Check these photos out!

Ladies first Suzanne before she met Arne in the Army. Suzanne is the good looker second row from the front 2nd one in from the left. Classic photo love it.
Now Arne a single guy before he met the love of his life in the Army! I can't pick him out! I'm sure he will give me an update when we meet again, I don't want to guess. Can you pick him out see below.
Ok I'm going to say top row but thats all let me know what you think.
Arne's father WW2 Marine who served in the Pacific. His Dad top row 4th fomr the right.
Classic boot camp graduation photo every Marine cherishes. All Privates look at those old salts in center Sergeant and Private First Class I winder where they all went and served. Were that at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, god knows and how many made it home?
Like many famlies of that time Arne's Dad and his two brother's all served in WW2. Here is Arne's Dad in the middle of his two Navy Brothers. All came home.
Super classic war time photo. Arne doesn't know where this photo was or what unit Dad served. But looking at it very few Marines wore the "Frog" camo trousers his dad is wearing. Was he a Raider? I'm not sure. From boot to combat veteran in the middle of it all in the Pacific.
This is not his Dad but the sign is where his Dad served. Not sure if this is a local logo to a Company or area of operations for a campaign, but it is a clue.
Now this is cool beans! We don't know if Arne's Dad wrote this or copied is or what but this is a cool WW2 war time peak at history and service branch rivalry. Thanks to Arne the Army hahah for sharing his Dad's memorabilia from WW2.

Suzanne's Dad US Navy
