Wedding pictures

A number of Veterans were married in their uniforms. We also want these wedding pictures to use in the book too. Unfortunately, like many Veterans who I have a picture of, I don't have much military information. So we need lots of help getting in contact with spouses, children, grandchildren, nephews/nieces, aunts/uncles, etc who may be able to help with more pictures and military information.
