Also, I've interviewed more than a few WWII vets and for them, it's not just a saying: they never do forget.<br /><br />@Shannon: Mahalo, and thanks again for always supporting my blog.Mark Koopmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634424953074803816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-7613447574820550072011-12-08T09:39:10.911-05:002011-12-08T09:39:10.911-05:00it also gives me chills and I thought of you when ...it also gives me chills and I thought of you when I realized the anniversary. thanks for sharing the photo's and your words.Green Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-64196273402599055822011-12-08T05:56:08.574-05:002011-12-08T05:56:08.574-05:00A wonderful post, Mark.

The description of the injured man at the bottom is terrible. <br />The city I live in, Townsville in North Queensland, Australia, was bombed during WWII, but it certainly wasn't on this devastating scale. I've lived and travelled throughout the Pacific as a child, and it's strange how the memory of the war, so many decades ago, is still so strong.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314617048592538691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-44135398039045880602011-12-07T22:34:19.877-05:002011-12-07T22:34:19.877-05:00Beautiful pictures and tribute.
