I hope I'm not violating any of the forums rules,as my intentions are good.I thought I was buying my Platoon picture from 1963,and I made a mistake.I must have graduated in December of 1962.The photo wasn't correct,as S/Sgt McCarthy's glaring eyes weren't there, LOL!The mistake was my fault,but 50 years can fog your memory!I will give the photo to anyone that needs it.I all I ask is you help with the postage.It was my mistake,and I'm not trying to be disrespectful to this forum.It cost me $38.50,but money means nothing when your dealing with your fellow Brothers and Sisters.

why does it cost so much to send??
I have shipped using media mail for books and photos for as little as $3.98 cents. You could go to wal-mart and have them copy off a couple copies and send them and save yours so you don't lose it..

$38.50 is what I paid for the picture.They wouldn't allow me to return it for the proper picture.I didn't think that was really fair,but I screwed up so I will give the picture to someone that can use it.Postage shouldn't be too much,and if that is an issue,I will pay that as well.

Betcha they don't have old ones just "LAYING AROUND"

They made you a COPY of what you asked for, with new paper
from an OLD NEGITIVE...Sorta like asking someone to make
an ANTIQUE 1965 Corvette, for you , then squalking because
you really wanted a '55 corvette..

You are exactly right.He also was looking at a negative to see if he had the right picture for sure for my platoon 172,which graduated in December of 1962.I sure hope he got it right,because I hate to spend$77.00 for the wrong picture!It was my fault so I shouldn't whine.I just hope someone can use the one I have now.
