Images of your grandfather?
Mr. Volckmann,

I have a great interest in the Filipino resistance to the Japanese invasion during World War II and have a number of books, many of them out of print, about this period. I read Mike Guardia's book on your grandfather and have greatly expanded the page on BG Russell Volckmann. I still have work to do on the World War II period, but wanted to 'complete' the other areas first.

Do you have other images of your grandfather that you would be willing to upload to the Wikipedia Commons and place in the public domain? I could then add them to the article. I did add one image, date uncertain, that I found as listed from the U.S. Army Center for History, which puts it in the public domain. I also think that a Filipino might have worked on the article before I did as there is some information on Filipino attendees to your grandfather's funeral.

My own father, while not as famous as your GF, served as a radio operator/gunner on a B-24 in the 5th Air Force in the Pacific. He flew 36 combat missions, some in the Philippines, before being shot down behind Jap lines in China. Fortunately, Chinese guerrillas got him and the rest of his crew out safely. As a U.S. Marine officer, during the Viet Nam period, I also spent some time in the Philippines after my tour in Viet Nam. I greatly enjoyed my time in the Philippines. Thomas R.
