Some dates are locked in our minds even though we may not have been alive.....and this is one. August 6 is another. I find it appalling and very sad that most of the schools no longer affix the importance to today that was there in my childhood. Perhaps it is time, perhaps it is for better world community, perhaps for whatever. It should not be so. An entire generation put their lives on hold or lost them altogether......people doing what they believed and doing what they felt had to be done.

Some historians argue that wars are essntial to progress. The world came away from WWII a different and changed place and it was a signal event in world history. Let's not let our children forget what their grandparents did and with the spirit they did it.
