I would estimate that 1 or 2 percent of the visitors to this blog are in the over 70 generation. That generation, of which I am proud to lay claim, remembers the world-wide and tragic news of the death of Ms. Lombard who died while on a Defense Bond Drive for the war effort. I remember the sentiment and love the average American had for Ms. Lombard and her husband Clark Gable. With the aforementioned observation that there are very few WWII veterans who visit this site, I would ask that all you "youngsters" who are on the web, print this out and hand it to grandma or grandpa.

1945: WWII: THERE WERE HEROES AND HEROINES
Not nearly enough recognition is given to the women who served valiantly during World War II. The WACS, WAVES, SPARS and military nurses risked their lives for freedom. I remember "Do Proudly We Hail;" a movie very early into WWII which graphically portrayed the dangerous plight of many nurses who gave their all to care for the men who were wounded in action. There should be a very special place for them at each and every memorial celebration.
