[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 280268, member: 3444"] I have no family members alive who served in that war. And those who did serve I never knew. I think for Europeans it had such a personal impact -- that war was in their cities, in their countryside. It affected every man, woman and child. Here in the states, it had an impact as well, but it's not like living with the daily fear of bombings. I think that's part of the reason why so many people here have so little appreciation for what it's like. If we had bombs dropping on cornfields here or in the suburbs, and soldiers going door-to-door like they're doing right now in other countries, we might feel a lot more thankful for the job that's been done on our behalf, even if it was on foreign soil.
