Yep. My Dad is 88 and lives with me. He is active in the American Legion, but has no interest at all about WW2. Even threw away all his service ribbons and memorabilia. Last WW2 movie he saw was The Longest Day when it was released.

Made the Victory celebration on B’way my screen saver. I was there that evening, I remember it as if it was yesterday.

Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Many thanks, great collection and site.
Seems we’re well on our way to a repeat - world-wide - of the 1930’s lead-up to WWII, which I suspect will make that look like a picnic.
