My grandpa fought on the island of Leyte. When he passed away the grandkids each got to take what they would like to keep from his house. I found his old tank destroyer manual and thought it was really cool. I would like to post some pictures of it on this forum to share with my fellow tankers. It's a cool part of history. What's the best way to do that?

My grandfather on my mother's side was a tank driver in the USMC, got his tank knocked out in the battle of Tarawa. He survived it but got a steel plate put into his skull because if his wounds.
The plate actually saved him later in life when he became a yellow cab driver and had a passenger take a claw hammer to his skull to avoid paying the fare.
My father fought in WW2, fought both the Germans and the Japanese. His first duty was chasing u boats out of New York harbor, then went through the Panama canal and took the fight to the Japanese under Halsey serving in his "little beaver" squadron.
