I remember getting my 10 year old son a WWII helmet at a garage sale and he would get dressed up as a soldier with his BB gun and play war. I had a premonition at that time and 8 years later he was jumping out of planes and helicopters with the 82nd Airborne Division. Two years after that he was in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank God he came home in one piece.
Awesome!
This is how kids used to play. And learn.
One would think the world would have celebrated the 75th like the 50th, but I guess the coronavirus got in the way.
My recollection of the tales of WWII does not involve trenches.
Am I forgetting something?
Not to be a party pooper but parents need to keep an eye on kids in trenches. A collapsed wall could be a potential killer.
and the boys can now celebrate VE Day properly on Friday, May 8.
Boy on the right appears he is about to commit suicide.
Speaking as an Underground Electrical worker Compete Man I have to say that this is a great way to lose your kids. Those trenches back in the day were shored up.
25000.00 fine if I did this back in the day.
I grew up on an air force base and we used to play war with BB guns and water balloons. Rules were you could never aim at the head with your BB gun and the water balloons were grenades.
We would climb on the roofs of houses and any tree insight. We probably had at least 20 kids playing and you had to stay within two blocks of base. We played for hours and wear camo and fight until the last person was still alive or when the street lights would turn on, then it was time to go home and eat.
