This is INCREDIBLE! The picture was taken in 1918. It is thousands of men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge in Iowa . This is a definitely a true gift from some of our grandfathers. Enjoy!Imagine how long these 18,000 men had to stand in that one spot to set it up correctly.Don't you just love the detail by the change of hats to no hats, some with heads bent down, some with faces shining, and slightly different colors of uniforms etc? This took an enormous amount of planning, patience, and positioning and a determination to send their message to us, yes even to the world. It speaks loud and clear.
I have a picture of my Dad's Father in the same kind of uniform. However, being that he was never in Iowa, there is need for me to try and look for him in this picture. God Bless America.
I love this picture! Amazing! Can't wait until tuesday for lunch. Bring the picture if you remember.
