Looks like “the golden hour” has more than one meaning.
Ask 1,000 high school seniors what the word “Ploesti” brings to mind. Maybe one or two might know. Most will think it’s the newest band or dance crew on MTV.
Those raids were long, and far, and fraught with danger. Yet men like your patient willingly climbed into what could be a flying coffin with ten other men to make the trip, not knowing if they would return to their bunk that night.
Ploesti was almost 64 years ago, so your patient had to be at least 84-85.
This is the generation that saved a world.
I hope the same can be said of us someday.
Thanks for catching me up on some history. There’s just so much out there, and you can’t know everything. All you can do is learn as much as you can. And you won’t get that in school, it has to be done on your own.
