Norma and Lloyd Parker with service flag

Here is a photo of Norma Elizabeth (Alexander) (1902-1970) and Lloyd Ira Parker (1895-1961) standing in front of their home in Westfield, Wisconsin during World War II. Behind them in the window is a service flag showing two blue stars, one star for each son in harms way overseas.

One of their two sons had a daughter that married a Brassfield, connecting with the theme of this blog.
