I heard a story many years ago that, up until now, I thought was a joke. After seeing these 6 pictures (and the other 44 I did not include in this blog), I am thinking it must be a true story...
Ø During the 1940 London Bombings a bloodied middle-aged woman was dragged out of her bombed out house by rescuers.
Ø Just about the time she was being dragged clear, she told the rescuers to get the bottle of whiskey that was in an almost still intact cupboard.
Ø They got the bottle and asked her if she wanted a shot.
Ø She replied, “No, love, this bottle is only to be used for emergencies”.
Go back and look at the pictures again. Don’t hurry. Then look around your home. Don’t hurry. Let it sink in.
Would I kid u?

Very moving posting. Not entirely sure why, but it brings up in my mind a thought I have been having often recently. Where would the world be without those who are willing to sacrifice for freedom.
Mr. Anonymous, John Stuart Mill was looking over my shoulder as I read your comment & he said to tell you that he wrote in 1865: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
The type of courage and fortitude and attitude displayed by the Brits was forged in hardship. So was the American attitude born from the depression. I think we as Americans missed a chance to "reset" ourselves during the "Great" recession when the government bailed out auto, and financial institutions instead of working our way thru it.
Now more than ever, we do not think as individuals, but rely and trust our federal government to pull us out of the every hardship(FEMA this time of year).
