I hate that during WWII all of the war apparatus had been taken over by the government, and there were no privateers. But that is not the fault of those who served and risked their lives. They were just as brave, though maybe not as free.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339668413030878426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-35886532671362722542016-12-07T17:14:52.607-08:002016-12-07T17:14:52.607-08:00I guess the same could be said about my grandpa...I guess the same could be said about my grandpa's generation who fought in World War II. Tom Brockaw and others call them the great generation, but were they truly more brave than others. Were they more brave than Americans fighting during the American Revolution against the British? I suppose it all depends on who we are asking. I always respect my grandfathers for their service to our country, but the moniker the greatest generation sort of feels pretentious, in a way.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-4092822012812834932016-12-07T13:39:23.347-08:002016-12-07T13:39:23.347-08:00Hi, Julia.

For some people, the use of a date is just a way to remember, but others really insist that their date is the official one, because they think their point of view is the only one that counts.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339668413030878426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-14303130845310556652016-12-07T13:13:49.728-08:002016-12-07T13:13:49.728-08:00People who live in Australia are very adamant abou...People who live in Australia are very adamant about date differences. If it is December 7th here, they will point out it is December 8th there. I think people just use date references because these are easier to remember.
