Thanks to each of you for your comments, hope you enjoyed a great Fourth!
Could You tell Me who is in the photo on the very top,the Man with the War Bonnett on? Also where that photo was taken? I’m positive that is My Grandfather & I would like to find a few copies of this issue of Life. Please e-mail Me with any info. Thank You.
Hi Laalaa,
The only information I have on that photograph is found in the description below the image. It includes the location (Dells, Wisconsin) and the date (July 1953).
Here is a source link from the same photo set in the LIFE photo archives:
