The first photograph, not the famous one, was taken by SSgt. Louis R. Lowery. Present in the photo were Col. Charles W. Lindberg, 1st Lt. Harold G. Schrier, Private Gene Marshall and PFc James Michels (holding the gun).
James Michels was the Chicago-connection that I wrote about earlier this week.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
