Almost 60
May 16, 2008 – 6:00 amIt’s difficult to believe that I have written almost 60 entries in this blog. These have included a wide range of subjects including rationing of food items, gas, shoes, and other items; military spouses; service personnel in Iraq; relocation camps for Japanese, Germans, and Italians; Army nurses, newsmen who reported on World War II, Japanese balloon bombs, and collecting milkweed pods.
I thank you for checking in with some regularity and for giving me material to include. In the days ahead I will be using some of these topics, but I need more. I ask you to please send me some stories about your family or stories you have heard, or you can suggest a subject you would like to learn more about. I’ll be happy to research it and report back.
In the days ahead I will include information about POW camps here in the States – many of them. If you know of one and have something to share about it, please do. I like to include reports from women who served or are serving now. I even like to include men’s stories once in awhile. Some of you have had most unusual experiences. I have recently been informed about rabies among servicemen in World War II. Anyone with more details, please share.
You can place your information in the “Comment” section or email me at margaretgeorge@verizon.net.
One other way you can help is to spread the word about this blog. Please send this web site to friends and relatives. My readership is still rather small.
