The USA has been at war so many times i can't count them all and like ginny I did the duck and cover and we had drills to practice getting on buses. the sirens would go off and we would do as told for practice. Savannah was only a short distance from Cuba and we were right on the middle of the target.<br />if people could just follow the one commandment, love others as you love yourself, there would be no wars.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-32010649369606866682010-11-11T17:03:48.774+01:002010-11-11T17:03:48.774+01:00I would have said that I never read a book about w...I would have said that I never read a book about war, but now you are telling me that I have! I never thought of it that way, but you are right!! In grade school, we had drills where we all had to file into the halls and kneel down in case if air-raid attacks. Duck and Cover was the slogan then. Kruschev had said "We will bury you!" But Russia seems to be the least of our worries now, doesn't it?Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
