Washington, November 5, 1925. "National Apple Week at Walter Reed Hospital." National Photo Company Collection glass negative. View full size.
This was taken on my birthday exactly 60 years before I was born. I like them apples! I find the little crown on the apple in the sign funny. "The King of fruits, Eat plenty of them!"
He might not be able to eat the apple but he sure has a spiffy hat. Right out of Monty Python!
I think it's just cruel that the poor guy with his jaw wired shut had to pose with an apple. You'd think they'd at least give him some applesauce or something.
