There are several good suggestions here. Another site you might post your findings is :
www. vetfriends.com
They have a section where you can upload the pictures and add the info you have about the picture. This way, the person's family could find them, too. Each military branch is included here. Military Photos from WW I, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraqi Freedom, and more can be found and/or added to the growing number.

You may want to see if there is any reference to a military base, ship or locale. If so contact them or a recruiter from that branch of the Military. History is very important to the military.
