another chapter in the Lahit boys lifes.

The journaling (PULL tab) beside the picture on page 1...
By the age of 17 Lee Lahti, his brother Stuart and cousins, Dale with brother Jamie Peck went into the service. Lee served in the Army and discharged after about a half a year. This was because he had a 
severe on the train on the way to Kansas.
Brother, Stuart also in the Army, was stationed in Portway, Kansas. After Lee had gotten home he and 
mother Hilda went to visit him in their 1947 Studebaker commander. Stuart was an electrician for the radios for the most part. He came home after the War.
Lee was given recognition by the United States Coast Guard, Group Astoria on November 2007.
