75 Years Ago Today

Thanks to everyone here for sharing their thoughts and memories.

My grandmother to this day will tell anyone who will listen that for decades her first waking thought in the morning would be "the war is over". She is a wealth of information regarding what WWII was like on the home front and she can till this day show you the exact spot she was standing by her clothesline when she heard that Imperial Japan surrendered and the whole damn mess was over.

Let us be glad it is over and see if we can actually learn something from it.

Respect to all who worked and sacrificed on all fronts; my fine grandmother included. -LY
