4/6

and i have been going through a lot of my father's stuff
preparing to send things to my brother

these were the labels that got sewn into the clothing he designed

i found his baptism certificate, his marines discharge papers and the letter changing his military records into his name...
he had joined the marines at 16, but since he was under age, he took his older brother's birth certificate and served as him.
he couldn't have known it at the time, but it saved him from being called up for korea
