Certificates from The Infantry School at Fort Benning record Private George P. Coman's completion of the Basic Airborne Course in 1949, qualifying him as a parachutist and gliderman. They are paired with hand-tinted and real photo postcard studio portraits from the J.C. Bardell studio of San Francisco, keepsakes that soldiers sent home to family.
