So did the start ending... and the bitter reality of war. War is not healthy for children.. or for any living things.

It was not until the true horrors were revealed at the end did I realize what I had survived, especially when some uncles did not return and others would not talk about it. When will we ever stop glorifying war?

These two events seared into my being to never ever forget because if we forget it will happen again.Kathe W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06781645436343424010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-22892968447177298792012-12-01T00:53:22.718+11:002012-12-01T00:53:22.718+11:00Terror: And I was 7 on this very day but all I re...Terror: And I was 7 on this very day but all I recall is <br />that nothing happened for a long time afterwards. I do remember the anxious listenings to the radio and <br />Churchill's memorable speeches! To this day, an articulate speaker talking about a serious event catches my attention! Where are those speakers today who<br />can galvanize good sense and just action?
