1946 Marine Basketball Team Portland Navy Yard

Sgt. Grit;

Here is an old Corps picture you may want to print in your newsletter.

My dad a WWII Marine Corps veteran had the attached picture with his memorabilia that I came across after he passed in 1995. I never got a lot of information from him, but he was proud of the Corps and the team.

I remember seeing the picture when I was young and he would laugh when he told us that most spectators thought they were prisoners. They even went as far as making up offences to tell those that would listen.

The attached picture is signed on the back by all those in the photo.
