Some people sacrificed their lives so we could live in freedom and peace, not to be slaves to the economic regime.

I want the surviving loved ones to know I appreciate the ultimate sacrifice many of our Service Members Gabe. May God continue to give you comfort, peace, and the blessings you need.


With love,

HRH T. W.

God Bless America and God bless all that is serving now all over the world for freedom & all that we lost in the past. You may never be forgotten. Thanks CD for posting. Here are some of my fav quotes I wanted to share:

“Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay.”- Barack Obama

“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.”- Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Home of the free, because of the brave.” – Unknown

“To those in uniform serving today and to those who have served in the past, we honor you today and every day.”- Unknown

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived.”- George S. Patton

“Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops, and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.”- Jennifer M. Granholm

“I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it.”- John Thune

Lovely comments by everyone.

Captain Tom Moore has restored Brits national pride in this lockdown and thoroughly deserves all the accolades given.

Wonderful posts and comments by everyone.So important to remember! Today would have been my mom's 100th birthday. Her first husband's plane was shot down over France. She was pregnant and lost the baby. I was the last of eight pregnancies. It's also Padre Pio's birthday! Blessings!

After reading your post. It reminded me. Of the extreme sacafices that War Time generation made.

When you meet War Time people. And chat to them. It's remarkable how they see all the sacrafices they made. Or total inconveniences, sadness they endured ....as just an irritating and unfortunate part of life.

It amazes me.

One old lady I've chatted to. Told me about the enormous trouble she had to go through just to buy a swimsuit in Australia. In the war years of rationing.

She acheived the purchase of a swimsuit over a long period of time. By collecting a group clothes ration cards off her sisters and friends.

I wondered why a swimsuit or swimmers, as we call them in Australia, was so important to her during the war.

But then I remembered that war rationing of so many things went on till the early 1950's in Australia.
So maybe she was collecting ration cards even in the early 50's.

Rationing went on until 1953 in the UK.

They also couldn't build a whole house in Australia during the war. Or for a long time after the War.
There were no materials to build a whole house.
Well not enough.
And the government wouldn't allow them to build it all anyway.
So they built half the house. And lived in it.... half finished.
And finished the other half much later.

Also it's amazing to me how they shared so many things.

If you got married during the war. You shared your Wedding dress with others who planned to get married.

And

Your wedding dress quire often was made from recycled silk they collected from downed Parachutes in the War.
Or faulty parachutes.

When I watch Bridezillers throwing tantrums on TV about the plan of their weddings. About minor details. Details they should be just grateful they can have.

I think of the war brides.

And how they often just couldn't get the fabric at all for their wedding dresses. Any kind of fabric. And married in a nice dress instead.
Or a nice borrowed suit (skirt and fitted jacket with a blouse)

I think the War Time era people define the word humble for me.
And deeply grateful.

They are much more easily satified with what they've got.
Well. That's usually how they are.

And in Tom Moore's years in the War and for a long time after. His family could get very little of the following things.

Bacon and Ham
Sugar
Tea
Meat
Cheese
Jams
Butter
Fat
Sweets
Eggs
Milk.

Petrol (gas) and fuel, including coal rationing was introduced. And heavily controlled.

Paper. Wrapping things was banned.
It was difficult to get notepaper, or books published as there was no paper.

Wedding cakes were often made of cardboad though. For the wedding pic. And a very small real cake was underneath.
Tiered cakes were impossible to create.
As there was not enough sugar, eggs or butter.

Petrol rationing was introduced as early as 1940.

But interestingly...Petrol rationing was reintroduced again in the UK in 1956.
Because of the Suez Canal crisis.
An Arab/israeli War. Where the invasion of Egypt in 1956 by Israel. And later the UK and France. Stopped oil supplies via shipping in the Suez Canal.

The Israelis, the UK and France were trying to get control of the Suez Canal again.

The U.S intervened. And stopped this. And it was over by 1957.

Those who survived WW2 didn't exactly have it easy in the 1950's
It seems it was a recovery period.
With lots of limitations.

God Bless Tom Moore.
And all of those who suffered so much.
Especially the emotionally scarred.

Chick's Opinion, Great post! Yes - material goods were scarce for years before and after the war in many places. I met a number of veterans and most didn't want to talk about it - they just lived through it. People just got married - no fanfare. I met an Italian couple who got married a few years after WW2 and the wife told me they married in NYC, went to some sort of club and threw wrapped sandwiches to everyone in the room. That was their celebration and they had fun!

Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...

  I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing)   This is what I saw in the dream.   I SAW...   Alexandra Grant   is married. Not to Keanu Reeves.  T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the  East coast of America.  (Not New York City)   I Saw She was in a  very close relationship with this  "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character...   This person has been  "Away"  for quite a while...    (If you know what I mean)   This person is threatening to return..   She will...   To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors  they both had a part in.    As I write this.   Keanu Reeves & his team.  Do not know of this.    Alexandra,  knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away...   STAY TUNED...    MORE TO ...
