I am attaching a picture of my son, Sgt. Liam Crawford (1st Infantry Division – Big Red One) and my father, 2nd Lt. William N. Crawford III (World War II Army Air Corps veteran who turned 100 in October of this year.

Liam is a 2018 OPRF High School graduate and highly decorated member of the U.S. Army, who was deployed to Kuwait and South Korea, recently transitioning from historic Fort Riley, Kansas to continue his education at the University of Illinois Champaign with ROTC/National Guard.

The photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day this year.
