The amount of comparable deaths for today’s America that we sustained in WW II would be around 1,015,000 people today. That is around the amount of people that live in the city of Dallas.
Every one of those men in uniform faced a death sentence. Had the U.S. invaded the Mainland of Japan we would have lost close to a million additional men.
If we faced the potential loss of three or four million special snowflakes and suddenly the threat was lifted, we would be glad to forgive a little excess joy and harmless celebrating.
True. Pop died from lung cancer and emphysema, which did result in “poor health.”
LOL!
As I said the last time my oldest brought up getting a motorcycle, "Make sure you increase your life insurance benefit, and we will mourn your lost potential while we all go on a cruise."
What a very endearing account of a true love story!
“No one could have had better parents than i did.”

Very well put.
Both the girl and the photographer are Jewish.
Greta Zimmer Friedman is an Austrian Jew who lost her mother and father in the Holocaust.
Alfred Eisenstaedt fled the Nazis.
They both lived long (92 & 96) and prospered.
It was a true statement, not over stated.
RIP.
A classic remembrance, I hope forever.
Yes, it was! You did good!
We are both most fortunate to have had amazing parents, it seems! Your comment rang so true in my heart, for your statement is one that I can very much identify with!
