Good to see he is still with us.

What a dashing and inspiring figure he was in his day!

God bless you Mr. Blair, for your successful fight against the Axis and for your continued longevity!

‘I didn't think anything more of it, and then all of a sudden, there I was, hanging on the wall of a post office.’

Had the same thing happen,...but then, enough about me...

Great post.

God Bless him, he’s a hero. Sad to see the England he fought dying.

God bless Mr. Blair and all of the brave people who served.

He IS a handsome man, even today. I think the photographer did a cr@ppy job on purpose.

Yes, the hero’s are still with us but they get fewer by the day. I visted my 87 year old cousin on Saturday. He’s was a machine gunner with the 79th infantry division in WII.

There, they hang posters of their hero's in the P.O.
Here, we hang posters of our most famous criminals.
And we wonder why more workers don't go Postal!
