my soldier



















Anderson has always been fascinated with the military--soldiers, guns, artillery, planes, tanks....you name it, he is highly inquisitive about it all. For years he told me that he wanted to be in the army, but the reality of war has settled into his brain, so now he dreams of becoming a professional athlete.
My dad recently allowed Anderson to wear his father's marine uniform from World War II and to play with a rifle that he plundered from Japanese soldiers when Japan surrendered. Anderson was beyond thrilled, as he still loves to wear costumes and "play army". Dad took the pictures shown above of Anderson in his great grandfather's marine uniform.
