Kind of funny you posted that "newspaper". I've been digging through the pix of items at the military museum close by, knowing there was a pic of a newspaper from the day after the Pearl Harbor bombing. FINALLY found it.
It hurts to think of all the bright futures lost on that day and during the course of the war, any war our men have fought.
They deserve so much more attention and respect than they get from most.
I remember and honor these days and throw a few bucks towards a cause for wounded vets. That’s not Nearly enough and I shall endeavor to do more this year.
A lot are still hurting from Iraq and Afghanistan and they deserve ours and the president’s help.
I’m sure now with Trump in office that neither will let them down.
Good evening, Pro...did your hurt back allow you to work today?
Yes, I think you are right....9-11-2001 was a very patriotic time in our more current history. It saddens me that it didn’t last.
Howdy, Kathy.
It’s Hump Day. Have you caught your breath yet?
Good evening, radu...checks printed, but, boy, what a day.
Hope you got some rain. Unfortunately we are expecting some.
The big storm that was supposed to dump several inches of snow missed us.
Did you “work” at the museum today? Fun stuff?
Howdy, PRO.
You’re probably right. The way we felt after 9/11 is probably closer than anything to how they felt after Pearl Harbor.
How’s your back today? I hope you aren’t coping with a setback after working today.
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...gearing up for flying again?
And maybe Christmas at some airport?
Sounds like you’re glad it’s over. Since we saw very little of you the past two days, it must have been a toughie.
We got an inch and a half of rain yesterday and did we ever need it. It was a good soaking 12 hour rain.
Now it’s BRRRRR cold and will be for a while. Oh well, it IS December. LOL
Yes, I went to the museum today and cleaned up more uniforms. There’s a noticeable dent in the pile but there’s still a looooooong way to go.
LOVE that!
Prayers for my Aunt Tootsie today, She passed this AM and looked after her Stepfather who served in “CBI”in old age.
Lovely Americans
RIP Tooty and Bill
Welcome to the Canteen, Simon Green...too true.
No Moco Loco?
That must have been a fun gig, getting to brighten the day for those fine men. I hope you had a chance to meet some of them.
The very thought of obummer back then....*shudder*
Hi Kathy, I was fine once I got up and moving at work, exercise is the best cure often.
I was pretty gimpy when I went to work but just walking around, (A LOT!), helped to cure the pain and I went from about 70% healed this AM to 95% now, feeling good, thanks.
I wonder if we'll ever experience that post-9-11 patriotism ever again?
How wuz yer day?
So sorry to hear of your Aunt Tootsie’s passing, my.
Thanks for keeping this ‘alive’
Like we say...
Had it not been for Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima would probably NEVER had happened.
Today ‘we’ would call the ABomb ‘Karma’ for an attack on 12/7/41 or as ‘we’ learned it ‘What goes around, comes around.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...that is, for sure, quite the highlight. Congratulations!!
