Pat, I remember Sad Sack. I was 9 when the war started for us in 1941. Now who's dating herself. <g> We have a whole shelf full of them, all in paperback of course. My husband was in the Philippines during WW2. He is a bit older than I am. He wasn't allowed to attend his own HS graduation. They drafted him right in HS, allowed him to finish the year, but he couldn't stay for the ceremony. Those were rough times I think. Our boys loved to read those books. They did ask him about the Atomic Bomb and how he felt about it. He said, if they hadn't dropped that bomb when they did, he wouldn't be here today. This is a long time of memories being brought back now days. One of my students in my Sunday School class and his wife went back to a 60 yr. reunion of the sub that he served on during the war. I didn't know much about them myself. Only what I saw in movies, etc. To know someone who actually was serving on one is quite a thrill. Oh how precious are our memories.
