Open files / family history

Two trails through one century.

Records, photographs, family memory, and unresolved questions remain visibly distinct—because a better story starts with knowing what the evidence can actually support.

Robert A. Cary wearing flight gear and a leather flight jacket Deepest public project Europe / 1944–1945 Lt. Robert A. “Bob” Cary B-26 missions, maps, evidence, photographs, and the long route home. Ronald M. “John” Haynes in United States Marine Corps uniform New official record Pacific / 1945 Ronald Marvin “John” Haynes Iwo Jima, the HQMC casualty card, and the unit and award questions still open.
