Grandmother, Mrs. Anna Edwards

Grandmother, Mrs. Anna Edwards

Attached is a picture of my Grandmother, Mrs. Anna Edwards. Sometime around 1935-36 she began working as a seamstress at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA. She and a handful of other women just made American Flags and continued to do so throughout WWII. All of their flags went to the Pacific Theater, including the one/two flown over Suribachi. The other photo was taken in Nam in late 1966. I’m the one with the M-14 on the left.
