Been so wrapped up in work. I need to send this link to some of my family who have probably never seen these images.Merujohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123831956012950960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-4848530952639429542010-06-28T17:58:44.189-04:002010-06-28T17:58:44.189-04:00I've been away from blogging and am tenatively...I've been away from blogging and am tenatively returning. As always from you, the most amazing writing. My mother kept a wartime scrapbook, too, with scratched (where is this) postcards and V mail and all that you show. During Memorial Day I thought of the sacrifice any young man or woman now makes by giving up their independence to serve their country. That always struck me about my father, who did make it back, just this huge portion of his life at war and in turmoil...lost youth. And the huge price, as you say, paid for our victory. A haunting post.

I think WWII tends to get glorified sometimes and people forget how much of a price was paid for our victory there.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198762158401756973noreply@blogger.com
