Homer, just wanted you to know that I so enjoy these threads.
Only 70 years ago. And America would have to endure so much on both fronts yet to come until Sept. 2, 1945 would arrive.
People forget that the bulk of our 400,000 KIA in WW2 would take place between June 1944 and August, 1945.
What also is amazing is what we were able to accomplish materially on two fronts in the days before instant communication, news, computers and jet transportation.
The Greatest Generation truly was just that.
Glad y’all enjoy the threads. I learn a lot putting them together. We have less than 11 months to go now.
