Yes, I was thinking of this this morning, and tried to explain Infamy to my twins. I still think of this war as "My War" since it so strongly affected my family (Mom's an Auschwitz survivor, Dad was a conscientious objector and you wouldn't believe what the government did to them) - although with my age I ought to be more involved in the Vietnam war, I can't "relate" to it - I was out of the States at the time, and it really touched no one I knew. But I remember today as the day that my parents started to be saved from the tortures they were undergoing.

Alan C, I'd love to meet your Mom!
