Big Fellow. I turned 10 0n 12/27/41 and "grew up" during the war. I recall all of the rationing, scrap drives, blackout drills, troop trains, air raid drills, News Reels in theaters about the war, Roosevelt's announcement of the raid on pearl harbor, the returning veterans. Fascinating and scary for a kid. Truly the greatest generation saved the world which unfortunately is in a different and worse danger today. Fact, not politics, Ryan.
