On April 7th, 1943 the Riverside Daily Press reported that American Legion Post 500 of Mira Loma had presented a framed copy of the celebrated picture "Legion Ranger" to the Union, Eastvale, and Glen Avon elementary schools.
The "Legion Ranger" was described as depicting a soldier of the "present war" (World War II) lying in a fox hole with an automatic rifle in his hand while pulling the pin on a hand grenade. The presentations to the schools were made by James L. Bullock and James K. Howey.
I tried searching on the Internet for a photo of this picture but was not successful. If anyone knows where I can find one please let me know!
