You tried hard, but you can't control other people. We ALL felt helpless that day and the many days after. :hugs: [/quote] I have a kid working for me who's 20, and just has no idea how much the world changed that day. He's a smart kid, but I just can't even explain it no matter how hard I try. [/quote] I imagine you're right about that. My dad used to get frustrated with us sometimes when he and mom would talk about life as a kid during WW11 and we just didn't quite get it. I think unless you actually live through something, you can't fully understand. I mean, your head knows the details, but your heart doesn't understand the minutiae. Know what I mean? [/quote] My mom tried to explain to me about living in London through the Blitz during WW2. She was in the London fire brigade as a telephonist, the equivalent of todays USA 911 system. It was the worst of times, but for her it was a time of camaraderie (when the sirens wailed during NAZI bombing, she would run into the London underground train system). Indeed, she has called it the best of times for her as she was in her twenties and met my father. He was a Royal Air Force mechanic, who saw plenty of action as many Royal Air Force fighter pilots and crew died (57,205 bomber crews were killed (a 46 percent death rate)). During and after 1943, he was flying planes he had repaired to the Royal Air Force bases throughout the UK and flying damaged planes from them.
