Description

Wise County homecoming, Decatur played host Friday to families of 649 of wise County's 1,900 war veterans. A typical reunion between former Staff Sgt. George M. Roach left, a 5th Air Force combat military policeman and Captain James W. Thompson, who served in the Aleutians with the ATC and Army engineers. Mr. Roach is wearing a striped suit and Mr. Thompson is wearing his uniform, a Tobacco smoke pipe and a hat; they both appear to be smiling and standing in front of a wall.
