over. I can remember some of those years. Several members of my family served. I can remember little tokens that you had to have to buy gas and other things which were rationed. You had to keep you window covered at night when lights were on. It was called "blackout". We huddled around the radio at night to get reports. Canned food came in steel cans so when you used them, you washed them and flattened them and put them in a box on the front steps and the were collected to be recycled.

Christmas was a little spare in those days.

We are losing those vets at the rate of over a thousand a day. The same for those who were on the home front, such as my mom. I do have concerns for what the future of this county has in store for your children and grandchildren
