Our kids and grandchildren , should be made
well aware of what happened during ww2, my father and mother were both
in the
army, my father was in the south pacific, and my mother worked in the
pentagon.

Very
well done Vern. An excellent tribute to your folks as well.
WWII has been given the mantel of history as a just war, a good war,
etc etc.
Some of its participants think it as their "finest hour", to borrow
from Churchill.
But many actual combatants just don't want to talk about it, perhaps
the horror
outweighed the results, shame exceeding pride, the unfair outweighs the
fair,
confusion over good & bad, the loss of some many good folks.
It does seem that humanity is condemned to war. The evidence abounds.
But, on
balance, does anything good come from it?
One thing we know for sure, the victors get to write the history books.
Keep up the good work.

Vern,
this is a GREAT addition to the website. Your memories of growing up as
a child
are VERY interesting. I have started to view some of the videos you
have
included, but I had to take a minute to congratulate you on a great job
of
putting this together. I will continue to watch the videos/links you
have
provided. Thanks again.

This
is so good. There was a POW camp in Forest
County Pennsylvania near where I lived. I have been there although it
was 30
years after the camp closed. It is in the Allegheny National Forest
near
Marienville PA. It had been a CCC camp prior to the war. They held high
ranking
officers there. i have had people tell me about the train coming in the
middle
of the night with all the windows blacked out and prisoners being
unloaded. It
was guarded very closely.

I
just watch this site, have seen many movies of the camps in europe, and
can't believe this country, and the vatican let it happen. Shame on us
and the
pope, they knew what was going on. As far as the Japs and Germans are
concerned in the camps in the U.S., "We were too damn good to them" my
mother
said. There was a German POW camp near her in Maryland, and when the
germans
heard rooservelt died, they all cheered. As far as the jap camps,!!!!
we had
to keep an eye on all of them, They led planes into pearl harbor, I
HAVE NO
SYMPATHY FOR THEM AT ALL

These
were our parents ~
What in God's name have we let happen? I guess we are the last
generation to see, or even remember
anything like these ! Whatever happened? It's called: Political
Correctness (or "re-education") happened, - Lack of God's name happened, - Lack of personal responsibility
happened, - Lack of personal
integrity and honesty happened, - Lack
of respect and loyalty to our country happened, - Lack of being an American happened.
Did all of these things die along with common sense??
I for one am still proud to be an American!
