    Do you have the names of the men pictured. My father was in the 82nd and jumped at Sicily. The last man on the left sure looks like him.

      Hi Lloyd! I’m so thankful for your father’s service – the men of the 82nd Airborne did phenomenal things. However, I’m afraid I don’t have the names of the men in the photo – this is the original caption.

    Sarah, Thanks anyway. I’m tempted to offer pics my Dad took during prep and jumps. Let me think about that.
    Thanks again
