The War years were trying days at the best, and horrifying days for a lot of the men that went through the war. War in not a "pretty" picture and we applaud those men that served in any capacity during the war.
To get a greater appreciation for what our Armed Forces went through, please check out of the library Tom Brokaw's books (3 in total) about the "Greatest Generation". I had mentioned earlier of Stephen P. Ambrose writings on World War II. PBS had a documentary on the "Pilot's story". This is one man's experience of his involvement in the war. Flag of our Fathers is another book to check out at the library.
So many gave the supreme sacrifice for future generations "freedom". Let us not ever forget them and appreciate our current Armed Forces in keeping our "Country Free".
When it came out what Hitler was doing and the atrocities that they found in that country after the war, THANK GOD WE WON THE WAR! Evil men still exist and we should never take our freedom for granted.
I think it was Eisenhower that said after the war, "Take as many pictures and document them all, so that someone in the future will not come along and say that this horrible Holocaust never existed." I cleaned up his exact words, but now we do hear people say that the Holocaust never happened. Pictures do not lie and we must never let this happen again.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR THE SERVICE MEN/WOMEN THAT KEPT US FREE. May our country be free from those that wish to destroy us and may these men that gave the supreme sacrifice, have not died in vain!!
