    I'm going to keep this going with usual contest rules and open it to any person from the period. You identify the person, you post the next picture question.

    We'll start with an easy one.

    Who is the man in middle?

    No, MacArthur was in the Army. Vice admirals were Navy.

    His son is in the news a lot lately.

    I'm going to bed, see y'all later.

    It was a good day yesterday on the forum :D - which was great after publicly crashing & burning :( on a job competition for a different position at my work - my ego needed the help!!

    So, I don't know how difficult, but since I gather they need to be Generals, etc during WWII and not attain the rank following WWII service, I'll forego who is "Amazing Grace" and ask

    Who is and what was his story
