The area where that picture came from may not have any power making it difficult for people to see the picture on the news or on the web. There is a chance that the soldier and his family may be homeless at the moment due to severy storm damage. Hopefully not, but it is something to consider.

I am sure tha in time someone will see the picture and you will be contacted, but it could be weeks or longer depending on the damage sustained in the area.

Yeah, I hope their not homeless either. I figured it will take awhile. Where I have the picture, they are thousands of other pictures and it's a little hard to navigate through them all. I'm not gonna give up though no matter how long it takes.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDAT UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

I just got off the phone with a very nice lady at the National Guard Association of Alabama. She requested a copy of the picture which she will forward to a representative of the 167th Support Command to present at their next board meeting in a couple of days. I'll let you guys know if I find out anything else.

Yes that is some great and commendable efforts. It could be very important to the one

Thanks for the updates. That's an awesome thing you're doing, man, and it's an inspiration to see how hard you're trying, in getting this picture back to its owner. Good luck, dude. Karma is on your side.
