Woody and my aunt Ann are joined by Woody’s father, Isaac, in this photo taken on my aunt and uncle’s wedding day back on August 3rd, 1946. Woody survived being hit by a train when he was 12, survived landing on Omaha beach during the Normandy invasion during World War II, and marched to the Battle of the Bulge, paving the way for him to survive 59 years of marriage.

Update: In 2023 I ran this photo through Photoshops restoration and colorization filter.
