This was probably taken in California when my dad, Elbert Lee Seitz (sailor), and my uncle, Alton Andrew Seitz, were stationed for awhile before being shipped overseas. Their parents were: Robert Lee Seitz and Elizabeth Ewing Hopkins Seitz. My dad and his four brothers all served overseas in WWII and all survived the war. One brother, Cecil, had some shrapnel injuries.
Robert Lee Seitz and Elizabeth Ewing Hopkins Seitz were my paternal grandparents. They had 5 sons. This picture shows the parents with their first 3 sons, my father, Elbert Lee Seitz, Alton Seitz, and Cecil Seitz. The parents lived to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. All 5 of their sons served overseas in World War II and returned home.
