I was about 4 years old. It was a Sunday morning. My dad when he
was home red me the funny papers, then I had to listen to Opera and get a test after the Opera. This Sunday Dad was not here. My Mom was listening to Glenn miller on the radio. All of a sudden a news break, she threw her hands up and ran out of the house to the neighbors house. Everyone was crying. I tell you
after I found out we were at war
I was afraid.
I remember there was no bubble gum.
and we had books of ration stamps. I helped collect cans, etc. The Generation today has to remember how close we came to losing..
We are darn lucky we won. You could be working for 25 cents an hour.
It's time to take a minute and Thank God we won.

Yvonne: Yes, we cannot imagine a nation at war. What an important moment in life to remind us of our blessings. Tell me about your Summer, were you at Old Salem?
Best,

It's good to be reminded from time to time that war is Hell and that we should avoid it at all costs.
The pictures displaying Pearl Harbor horrors are "worth a thousand words".
We must never forget.... Have a wonderful weekend Yvonne... xv
WOW. To be that close and to have witnessed the spirit and sadness of it in your own household would most definitely make you more aware.....and thank YOU for reminding us of how lucky we really are. Dearest Yvonne, thank you for visiting me with such kind words. I wish you a BLESSED HOLIDAY !!! Anita
Belated thanks for this wonderful post, Yvonne. It's up to parents AND school history departments to never let kids forget where we all come from.
Shame on us if we do forget.
