I apologize for all the ads that now appear throughout my Blog Postings. It was not always that way. Google Blogger does this. I have no control over these ad insertions. I know it makes my Interesting Commentary harder to read. Stick with it because it is worth the effort...Or is it? J
(I Understand
Aristotle Felt the Same Way About the Young People Of His Day)
How often do we hear someone say or write...
“The young people today have to deal with a lot of pressure!”
Fella thinks the young people of today don’t know what pressure is.
I got this from Only Friend and a Newspaper Article about the deceased Father-In-Law of a friend of ours...
He was a Marine in WW2...
>He was in Pearl Harbor during the attack. (Decemebr 7, 1941)
>He was on Midway during the Battle of Midway. (4–7 June 1942)
>He spent time on Guadalcanal. (Contested from 7 August 1942 until Japanese stopped
contesting the Island 6 months later)
>He was at the invasion of Saipan. (Combat on the island was from 15 June to 9 July 1944)
>He was on Tinian (where the planes that dropped the 2 Atomic Bombs took off
from) when the Atomic Bombs were dropped. (August 1945)
>His last combat mission of the war was to venture into the jungle and try
to capture alive a POW to explain to the POW that the war was over.
Ah yes, today’s young people have it tough...Or do they?

Outstanding blog. Some of the younger people buy into victim-hood and assume they are under stress simply because someone told them.
I can really identify with Paul Abbott's story about finding his father's war medals. One day my brother and I were searching through a closet at home when we found some of Dad's war memorabilia. Among the items we found was a book about the history of the 103rd Division in WW2. We started thumbing through the book and found horrific pictures of the Landsberg death camp with emaciated bodies lying all around. We were only 10 and 11 at the time and were shocked to see such graphic pictures. We asked Dad about the pictures. Dad never talked about the war but he sat down with us to explained how the NAZIS gassed and cremated the Jewish prisoners. After that he started talking more about his WW2 experiences but we still could never get him to see a war movie.
