Nobody Remembers VJ Day, Honolulu, 1945
Nobody Remembers
Check out these happy kids! (Okay, they were not kids, they grew up quick, unlike today when the adult age seems to start at around 30) It’s VJ victory day, the war in Japan is over, and there is great reason to celebrate. Look at this color film (Pattie, is that Kodachrome?) And the CARS! How much would some of those be worth today?
My dad might have been one of those sailors as far as I know, he was in Honolulu on that day. He lost his older brother on a ship in the war. His older brother once broke his nose, I’m sure in a good nature sibling fight. I asked him about it once and he told me his nose had been broken three times, all from fights.
I still have my dad’s old sailor outfit. He was a Seabee.
Anyway, listen to that music. That was back with there were LOTS of trumpet players. My father played trumpet in the Navy band, and he taught my brother, who made a living as a trumpet player for many years….so the music is really bringing back memories for me.
Anyway, the men and women who fight our wars are the best of America, and we should remember this weekend all that they fought for…for America. For liberty. We need to keep up the fight, no matter how old or tired we get. We need to remember their sacrifices and send the politically correct idiots that are out to destroy the ideas of a free country, out to sea, and right the ship.
We need to see more films like this, of what has been scrificed…to keep America free from tyranny. I’ll be looking for them.
God bless all our soldiers…(and that includes every soldier from any nation that has fought for liberty.)
Now, excuse me while I go watch the sunset. I can almost hear my dad playing Harry James melodies on his trumpet…to my mom on a Saturday night.
No Wind, Nor Rain, Nor Freaking Tornado…
Nobody’s Fool
Mr. and Mrs. Penee:
Now, here’s the American spirit still alive and well in Oklahoma! Even though there were tornadoes seen off in the distance, Caleb Penee and his bride Candra did NOT let their moment be spoiled, by some little old tornado. After all, they were far enough away and heading in the other direction, and damn it all…why bother spoiling their wedding?
It’s good to see the old pioneer spirit of our forefathers still alive and well in the heartland.
And you can be sure, that’s a marriage that will stand the test of time, babies, crappy in-laws, and global warming alarmists.
It warms my Nobody heart. Pretty cool.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
