21 year old former marine drinking coffee. 1946. So often you guys say: I wonder what happened to this person after the photo. I posted a photo a few years back and I literally just now saw the follow-up with the original picture! Former Marine Bob Touhy is back from Eniwetok Atoll in the South Pacific. Back to resume at 21 the life he left in Washington, D.C. at 18. The scene behind him is the famous Coast Guard combat photo, (he is drinking coffee in this photo too), taken aboard a Coast Guard-manned assault transport, anchored off Eniwetok, February 19, 1944.
The image, information in the caption, location, and date are from the National Archives and can be found at the link below.

Uutta asiaa minulle. Rajavartiolaitos testaili 80-luvun puolivälissä perimätiedon mukaan Uzi- ja Jatimatic -konepislareita. Kuvassa Pohjois-Karjalan rajavartioston upseeri kokeilee Uzia. Olen ymmärtänyt niin, että erityisesti merivartiostot olivat näistä aseista kiinnostuneita. Tietääkö esim. jäsen @Sjööpe tästä enemmän ?
