One of my recent obsessions is WWII. I know, most people went through that phase a long time ago, but for some reason it took a while for me to get into it. I am a fan of history and am currently immersed in books, movies, stories, music, and shows created during or about the second world war. I even put up some art in my house recently.
Honestly, it’s getting to be a bit much, but my appetite has yet to be satiated. (I just found a complete set of Glen Miller vinyl records that I have been playing repeatedly while I grade and do homework … and write this blog).
I guess one of the aspects that I find so appealing is the cohesion of the country during the 1940s. I long for us to have a common cause and not a million individual agendas.
It would be swell if the world had great respect for the “yanks” who were in lockstep, tackling some great mission. Click on this link, take a listen, and imagine our country being ONE again.
