Had a chance to visit the USS Iowa in Long Beach recently. It witnessed lots of history, glory, and sacrifice in times of war and peace. As promised, entrance was free for Iowa residents #USSIowa

My abuela and her brother barely survived polio in the 1910’s. Both walked with a limp for the rest of their lives. Here is a pic of her with my uncle and two twin aunts in their hometown of Alvarado, Veracruz around 1940 #vaccineswork
