Here is a photo taken by a local photographer of my son wearing his Great-Grandfathers medals at the Weymouth Veterans Day Parade.

That's a great photo. It's good to see the youngsters getting involved in Veterans Days.
Who is going to clean the medals now that he's put his fingers on them?
Cheers,
Nick

Steve, that is indeed a great photo of your son, and he has every right to be proud of his Great Grandfather, and your Grandfather,
