This monochrome photo postcard depicts a young man, Alex Fleesak, dressed in a World War II U.S. Army uniform, staring intently at the camera. He is wearing helmet with a camouflage net and a 8th Infantry insignia visible on his sleeve. His uniform appears worn and rugged, typical of a soldier engaged in active duty. The photograph, monochrome and with a soft focus, captures a moment that seems both personal and intense, emphasizing the seriousness and youth of this soldier.
The image displays a vintage postcard with handwritten text "Uncle Alex Fleesak Word War II" and a phone number [obscured] in black ink on a lightly yellowed background. There are visible grid lines and a faded horizontal line near the bottom of the card.Subject Person/Organization
