My sister-in-law found this photo of Paul J. Amon Sr (my father-in-law) yesterday accidently while looking for things in her attic. We thought the photo had been lost. A Thanksgiving blessing to our family. He was gunner in the 100th BG, originally assigned to the Lundquist crew....courtesy of Martha Joy Amon
