The way it was.......

There was a song very popular when I was in High School by the name of "Oh, what it used to be"...We all loved that song and I was just thinking about the words.....Oh, what it use to be...

I guess every generation has thought that, but these days...these words really have meaning...

Everything "back then" was a lot simpler...We had a sneak attack by Japan @ Pearl Harbor when I was a toddler, but our "boys" enlisted, learned how to shoot something besides quail & doves,

and went "off to war".....It was probably one of the most patriotic times America has ever seen.

The women, for the most part, quit canning vegetables and fruit and learned how to build planes, tanks, jeeps and ships.....America was a war....The families were getting mail from places we had

never heard of.....Kjawalein, Normandy, Okinama.......(to be continued somtimes today....
