I have been following it day by day

Although I have read extensively about the progress up to and including Okinawa, I knew nothing of the air campaign in June and July of ‘45. I was very surprised to learn that the Navy steamed in close enough to shell the home islands completely unopposed

I like to read the ads as well. Summer dresses are on sale this week in ‘45 for $15
