Harry O'Neill 1939

Harry O'Neill colorized with the Philadelphia Athletics. There is a nice article about O'Neill atBaseball in Wartime.com along with some fantastic biographies of other players who bravely served their country. In O'Neill's case he made the ultimate sacrifice at Iwo Jima in 1945. I had meant to get these done by Memorial Day, but I think circa Independence Day is also an appropriate date. The card is from Baseball in Wartime, I just provided the tint.
