Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Blues Band: A Heartfelt Tribute to our WWII Veterans

"Before You Go" - Tribute to WWII Veterans and all veterans. Our WWII vets are passing on at about 2,000 a day now. WWII was a war that really was necessary to preserve our freedoms and way of life, unlike the propaganda lies we've been told about wars since then.These old men were young when they fought that war, like our troops today who fight and get maimed and die. America owes them a tremendous debt and much gratitude.

I wonder if Patriotic Trio will think these men are "stupid and useless" because they are old. If it had not been for these old men, they would not be able to enjoy the freedoms they have today, even the freedom of speech to write obnoxious comments.

    I have a cousin in his 80's who served in the Navy during WW II. I was 7 when it finally ended.

    My mom made skirts for me out of his wool "navy blues" once he was safely home. Itchy skirts but they never wore out. I sometimes wished they had.

    Rationing of course. Even after the war, some things remained hard to come by and we improvised.

    Funny the things we remember.

    I have to write this down before I forget. My uncle had a corn shelling device. We put the ear of dried corn in and turned a hand crank. Voila. Corn for the chickens and cobs for the outhouse (kidding - shame on me).

    Good night again - still no cat.

    Worried American, yes you really should begin writing memories down, the Imperial War Museum is recording peoples stories.

    I took my Children to a day when people who had been evacuated from London to the countryside were available to talk to, it was fascinating, so interesting to hear from people them selves.

    We also visited the Holocaust exhibition, children under 16 are only allowed in with an adult, I remember most of all a tale from a survivor of Auschwitz she said a young man prisoner was acting like he was touched and mumbling, he was repeating over and over in Hebrew "You are eighteen, you have a trade"

    I grew up after rationing was over here but can remember bomb sites in London, we were taught never to forget what happened during the Second World War.

    Times have changed, now it seems like people aren't supposed to remember yesterday never mind anything else.
