I have spent a lot of time working on these posts over many years and there have been times - though not many - when I have wondered if it will be worthwhile in the long run. Then I get a word of thanks from someone I haven’t heard from before or maybe a regular. I rarely respond directly to those messages. I’m usually so pressed for time I don’t even have time to read the news I post. But I read every one and I consider them to be payment for that day’s news. So now that I have prepared and scanned the last article I can take a moment to express my gratitude to all the readers who have thanked me expressly or complimented my efforts. THANK YOU for reading and you are all most welcome. It has truly been my pleasure.
Again, Homer, thanks on behalf of all of us history nerds!
There is a band of brothers smiling at you from afar and long ago.
Homer, this has been a priceless education.
While Homer is resting, I might just drop back a lap and do a realtime + 75. Is there a date index other than the posting history?
Thank you again and again!
I will be going through withdrawal!
Thanks, again, from the bottom of my heart. As a Disabled American these days, I will have to find another pastime to fill the void left by reading the 70 yr. old NY Times every day!
It has certainly made me a better citizen currently and a better parent to my children and son to my parents to have the perspective of daily WWII knowledge and what the country and leadership went through.
That generation had character and talent down to the 20 year olds who came off of the farms and factories that is just not evident, it seems in most of our young today.
If the Chinese tried to replicate the Japanese conquest of the Western Pacific, our industrial base would not be able to respond now as it did in 1942 because so much of it is in China! How many of our young men and women know how to “make and repair stuff” with machine tools?
