"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid. Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war, it's to be prepared for peace. " --President Ronald Reagan

my dad had a good bit of repect for ole hope. and i think it was because he went to some austere places just to bring a smile to a young man's face who likely had little to smile about. my dad was in the pacific from 43 till the beginning of 45 i think. i can't remember if he ever got to see hope or even a uso show of any kind. but any way i sure do appreciate what he and those who also followed suit along with the U S O over all these years. i benefitted from their generosity and love of america's service people. any way thanks for postin this.

Women back then were beautiful and they had class. Today they wear sweats and wear their hair pulled back because it’s less maintenance.
