There's something about a WW2 warbird that just makes me feel patriotic

I have all the filmclips in my head ... women assembly lines, scavenging for metals to be turned in and melted down, kids lieing about their age so they can fight the enemy, the 1940's music .... just a whole jumble of thoughts that coelesce at the sight of WW2 flying technology

I live close to an air field and once or twice a year they sponsor an air show featuring WWII aircraft. My house shakes as the B-17 flies over me. Like you, it makes me feel patriot and proud. I just wonder how many of millions of people planes like this helped to liberate.

At the same time, I'm left with a pit in my stomach knowing this country could never do the same today. More people in this nation are concerned with the latest on Bruce Jenner or Kim Kardashian. They could care less about individual liberty and freedom.
