FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where can I donate?

I have created a way to accept donations to grow the project, use the WWII Veterans Portrait Series Go Fund Me.

Where are you located?

I live in the San Diego area but have traveled to many locations to interview and photograph Veterans.


How Long is an Appointment?

Appointments usually last an hour. But please free up time for Mickey to set up lights and cameras, hold the interview, and take some still photographers for in the project.

Do you accept reservations?

Yes is the simple answer to the question. Each appointment is set up as an individual session. Group sessions have been set up when I visited a senior living facility or many of the California Veterans Homes.

US Army Air Corps Private First Class World War II - Korean War William Murray was born on August 25, 1926. He enlisted in the US Army Air Corps after graduating from High School in 1944. William attended basic training like many other young men and women who signed on the dotted line to serve their country. One of the greatest accomplishments of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II was the training of hundreds of thousands of flying and ground personnel for its air armada. Coming from all walks of life, they were molded into the most formidable Air Force the world had ever seen. Before the war, few of them knew much about aviation, but by the time Japan surrendered in 1945, they had become experts in their field. In March 1944, their numbers reached a maximum of 2,411,294, approximately 31 percent of the total strength of the U.S. Army. William remained on active duty in the Army Air Corps and served during the Korean War. He was on active duty on The United States Air Force (USAF) birthday of September 18, 1947, making the USAF the newest branch of the U.S. military. William was married for many years until his wife passed away, and they had no children. William is currently living in the West Los Angeles Veterans Home. The Veterans Homes of California offers affordable long-term care to aged and disabled veterans and their eligible spouses and domestic partners.
