Hi Sarah, such an ironic comparison of events...war and Bambi. We really were oblivious here in our US cocoon weren't we? I posted 2 blog posts you might like to read about my research adventure. Actually the last three posts tell the whole story. www.janclinewriter.blogspot.com. Im sure you will be able to relate! Blessings, Jan
Hi Jan! Irony definitely noted :) I find that a lot in my posts - some horrid Holocaust fact juxtaposed with a perky song. But that's the fullness of the era and what makes it so rich and fascinating.
Thank you for sending me to your blog! I love the USS Hornet, and what an amazing experience you had.
