Description
(Original Caption) 6/14/1945-Okinawa- Lest we forget--this photo shows how one father spent Father's Day. Marine Colonel Francis I. Fenton of San Diego, Calif. kneels beside the flag-draped body of his son, Pfc. Michael Fenton, killed in action in Okinawa. Michael, 19, was a scout-sniper in the first Marine Division, in which his father is a regimental commander. Of the boys who died with his son, Col. Fenton said, "The poor souls, they didn't have their fathers here."
