Interesting photo, nice T in the background. Hopefully things don't continue to get worse with this Covid thing.

My Dad’s brother joined the U.S. Army in 1917 with a friend on the Buddy Systen.
The Buddy died of the flew and so my uncle was never sent over seas during the war. he stayed in the country and did different jobs.
