I was born in 1951 not long after WWII.
In 1955 you could buy a brand new Corvette Stingray for $2,800.
A top of the line RCA black & white TV for $250.

I remember watching war documentaries on that TV ... there were so many shown as we recovered from a most traumatic period in our history.

I especially remember seeing old baba's with their feet wrapped in rags for shoes treading through the bombed out muddy rubble of the remainder of their city streets.

REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMBER

Remember that there are no winners in war.

Both sides lost precious loved ones ... both had families never to unite again.

LEST WE FORGET

The other day I stumbled on a stark video reminder of this fact ... be patient as youtube cycles through the error codes please
