Memo to Helen Thomas: THE JEWS IN ISRAEL ARE ALREADY HOME and morefallout from her anti semitic tirade

Are you an American, as I assume? Did you live during the Second World War?
What "deprivations, sacrifices and hardships" did the average American on
the home front suffer? Please do tell.

Donna Evleth- -

I was born in 1932 and vividly remember the gold stars hanging from
the windows of many homes including my own when growing up during the
war

The Madame Donna Evleth, laughingly claiming to be a "historian" born
a few years later than me, was either too young or too sheltered to
appreciate the presence and signifigance of those gold stars in the
windows.-

It was really sad to walk by as a kid and one day or deliver a
newspaper as I did back then and see a blue star turn to gold on
that flag hanging in the living room window, particularly if you
remembered the designated person

Yes I agree it must have been sad. It's a good thing for
Britons that such indications of family loss were not
the rule here. Otherwise the walks to school would have
been horrifying. But then when you spend your nights
in a shelter for nearly a couple of years we didn't need
to be reminded that we were at war. I can still
remember the sound of Fokker wolf engines overhead,
the sound of bombs dropping - granted only a few very
near us and the ceaseless firing of anti-aircraft guns
that were really only a pretence and we knew it. Then
it came to an end - we left the shelters and got used
to comfortable nights in bed. Then quite suddenly London
and its environs (that's us in Romford Essex) became
the first and only area in the world subject to rocket
attacks. First the V1 (not a rocket) and then worst
of all the V2. Von Braun could never understand why
he wasn't welcomed in London after the war.

Must have been sad also for you Brits.

Like Zfwench too bad you didn't anticipate the horror of it all to
come before declaring war on Germany in 1939.

Of course we anticipated it. We had been bombed in the
first world war - so much so that the horrors of the
second were over stressed. We didn't for instance need
the chaotic evacuations. You're quite right - we shouldn't
have declared war on Germany in 1939, we should have
declared war on Germany in 1938 when they marched into
Czechoslovakia or at least let it be known to Hitler
that we certainly would.

My father would not have got together with my mother if it hadn't been
for the war, so I should be grateful to Hitter and all that given I am
pleased to be alive.
