I remember WWII as a child.Everybody was so patriotic and on the same page. I remember my dad's (and neighbors) ear glued to the radio for news. Then they stood over their farm fences and discussed it all. How frightening for me because I was little, but I wanted to hear so I eavesdropped - then dreamed horrid dreams. In school we brought newspapers, tins, balls of the silver paper from gum, those in cities planted little gardens, theaters passed out cups to collect for the Red Cross. So many things were done to include every single citizen. When we see a picture like this one, the very image shows the respect, love and loyalty to the U.S.A. that was total back then. Those soldiers saved us from becoming a property of Germany or Japan. What a different world we'd be living in. It was close.
