It was D-day in June, 1945 and Pa was working in his South Dakota field. When his tractor got to the end of the field row on this particular day he was happy to pull off his gloves and greet one of his sons who had just arrived home on furlough from the Air Force. Pa had two sons in the Air Force at that time and a third son joined up later. A box camera photograph taken by my sister was the basis for this painting.
