This is my Dad on one of his fishing cruises in Alaska in 2009. He loved to fish for salmon. We talked him out of going this year. If we hadn't, he would have had his stroke while in Alaska, because the cruise started the day before his stroke. At least he was home with his family rather than many, many miles away. We were all able to be with him and talk to him until the very end.

Dad in 1942 before he went into the service.
Here is the story of the 40 & 8 that my Dad belonged to:
La Societe des Quarante Hommes at Huit Chevaux is an independent, by invitation, honor organization of male and female U. S. veterans, more commonly known as the Forty & Eight.
The Forty & Eight is committed to charitable and patriotic aims. Our purpose is to uphold and defend the United States Constitution, to promote the well being of veterans and their widows and orphans, and to actively participate in selected charitable endeavors, which include programs that promote child welfare and nurse's training.
The titles and symbols of the Forty & Eight reflect its First World War origins. Americans were transported to the battle front on French trains within boxcars stenciled with a "40/8", denoting its capacity to hold either forty men or eight horses. This uncomfortable mode of transportation was familiar to all who fought in the trenches; a common small misery among American soldiers who thereafter found "40/8" a lighthearted symbol of the deeper service, sacrifice and unspoken horrors of war that bind all who have borne the battle.
The Forty & Eight was founded in 1920 by American veterans returning from France. Originally an arm of The American Legion, the Forty & Eight became an independent and separately incorporated veteran's organization in 1960. Membership is by invitation of honorably discharged veterans and honorably serving members of the United States Armed Forces.

My father was one of the 87th Infantry Division, and wore this Acorn patch on his military uniform. He was a member of the famed Golden Acorn Division. The 87th was moving into Germany when, on 16 December 1944, German Field Marshal Von Rundstedt launched his offensive in the Ardennes forest, and this became The Battle of the Bulge.
