25 Photos From Family Albums That Should Become Magazine Covers

It’s fascinating how photos can bring up memories and emotions, and the old-fashioned family albums do just that. Seeing the journey from the time our young parents met, till the time we were born, and even seeing other family members always brings memories and a smile to our faces.

My dad in Japan, in 1945 as part of the Occupation Forces after the end of WWII. GI Joe Cool in those shades. Miss him.
