Humor / Sobering / Fun - HL 253 (2)

There were a lot of postcards but I picked a few to include below:

 Old Post Cards WW II

While being a "Helicopter Crew Chief Instructor" there, I'd go to Washington DC, with a few buddies almost every weekend. We'd do the Smithsonian and all.

On the way back to Ft Eustis (125 miles), we'd often stop for something to eat.

One time, it was getting late. We landed in Falls Church, VA.  We saw an old general store that was still open. We walked around on the old creaky floors looking for Frito's or something? I came across, an old wire frame post card holder. It was full of WWII post cards...penny a piece !

I asked the guy, "How much do you want for the Post Cards?"   He said, "A penny. They have been here ever since I was a kid."

I counted them...300 plus.  I gave him $4.00, and I got the rack, too.

In San Diego, I sold a bunch for $1.00 each. I still have a bunch to hand down.

I know some of you are too young to recall these posters and WWII, but they were a part of my life and others who are now "older than dirt". These are great. Pass them along, especially to your older e-mail friends.

I wonder whatever happened to this kind of thinking.

I got a lump in my throat when I read this. I "grew up" thinking: patriotism, it is the AMERICAN way! I am glad to see that somebody saved them. The statement at the end says it all!

These were our parents.
What in God's name have we let happen ?

I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like these!
Whatever happened?

70 years of "progressive" education happened!

     
Political correctness (or "re-education") happened,
Lack of God's name happened,
Lack of personal responsibility happened,
Lack of personal integrity and honesty happened,
Lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened,
Lack of being an American happened.      

Did all of these things die along with common sense ?     

I for one am still proud to be an American!

If you are too.... Pass this along,  so others can show their pride.

 I believe that our generation took their eyes off of the ball. In the name of being fair and forward looking, we let our Universities and Colleges become saturated with Communists and Marxists who have over a number of years poisoned the minds of our young people.  No conservative speakers are allowed to speak there any more and are shut down by protesters.

Our children are the most precious treasure we have for they are the future of the Nation and the world for that matter. 

Our Public Primary and Secondary schools are for the most part run by Left Leaning Unions and teachers who consider themselves Progressive.. The corriculum now has taught the children that our generation was bad or misguided and we have poisoned the environment and started wars needlessly.

We need t take back our educational system and stop the poisoning of young minds.

And we need to get back to the three R’s of reading writing and arithmetic.

And we need to start watching our politicians more than golf or tennis or football or hockey.

The politicians who buy votes with taxpayer money need to be jailed.

The Price Of Liberty Is Eternal Vigilance.
