Two Black servicemen together, USA, 1951
(lemmy.world)
Such good friends.
Even lived together (platonically as best buds... into their twilight years as you do)
Weird that they only have one bed. I wonder who sleeps on the couch.
They often JOKED about wanting to get married.
Those guys are quite the characters. A couple of wild and crazy roommates.
Really close roommates is all ๐
When one died, the other threw himself on the coffin as it was lowered into the ground while screaming, "Lord, take me, too!" If that's not friendship, I don't know what is.
Very cool, thanks.
