Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.

We here at Blue Stars For A Safe Return are working hard to honor all of our military, past and present, and their families. Inlcuding the veterans, and POW/MIA's. I feel that not enough is done to recognize the past efforts of the veterans, and remember those who have never been found.

I realized that our Veterans have no "official" seal, so we created one as part of that recognition. To see what it looks like and the Star that we have dedicated to you, the Veteran, please check out our site.

The "loopiness" of the British and French in 1939-1940 goes a ways to helping explain their defeats in 1940. In addition to contemplating intervention in Finland, tat amount to a declaration of war on the Soviet Union, when they were already at war with Nazi Germany, the French proposed (and consideration was given to) bombing the oil fields at Baku, even without aiding Finland.

Norway's fate was sealed when British destroyers entered Norwegian territorial waters and boarded the German supply ship ALTMARCK, which had been a supply ship for the panzerschiffe ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE, and which held prisoners taken by GRAF SPEE from merchantmen.

The Anglo-French force sent to Norway in early April, with the intent of occupying Narvik, and other points, was preempted by the German attack on April 9th, resulting in naval and land battles that continued until early June. Interestingly, Admiral Raeder, at Nuremberg was not allowed to use evidence of the Allied operation in his defense on the charge of planning to wage aggressive war.

Interesting thread. Once I saw a very good movie about this war. I think that It was titled just "The winter war".

Hey,this was great article!It is accurate and self being Finn I appreciate it greatly!
