One of the great TV programs of all time is now being shown on PBS television.
This is a fantastic opportunity for we senior citizens to remember, and for orthers to learn the story and the history of World War II, and the sacrificies that were made to mold this country into the home that, sometimes we take for granted.
There are many stories to be told by members of AR, and I would love to learn about them. Please contribute them to this post so that we can share your memories and remembrances.
Do you remember where you were on December 7, 1941. I do. I was at the Polo Grounds in New York City, watching a football game beween the New York Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Yes, there was a football team, called the Brooklyn Dodgers. Midway through the 4th quarter, announcements starting coming over the PA system asking Admiral so and so to call his office, General so and so, please call your office, would the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, please call your office.
On the ride home, the radio talked about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and, of course, no one had the slightest idea as to the location of Pearl Harbor. It didn't take but another day, to find out and our lives were forever changed.
I will be adding more to this story in the days to come, and I am anxiously looking forward to receiving your imput.
