Sarah's husband Matt is a dead ringer for your grandpa.
Paul
You'd better run the one of grandad through photo shop and get rid of the cigarette, hate to have the Smoke Nazi's confiscate it and turn it into organic mulch for medicinal marijuana.
Also tell the old man to shine them darned boots, darned things look like Chia Pets.

The similiarities are there in the lower face and ears, but there's a ww2 vet I have got to post picture of that is a real dead ringer for Matt. It's his grandfather. Some how they Us army air corp managed to fit all six feet five inches and 250 lbs of him into the radio room of B-24's.

Chyler did you notice your grandfather has a M-1 belt but is holding a BAR? I guess he is just posing with it.
you have some great photos.
I'd post a photo of my grandfather but have no way of doing it.
