Kudos Snippy & Sam for another Great thread. My Mother-In-Law tells stories of how she was able to sleep with allied bombs dropping around Naples when she was a young girl. A widow twice, both husbands fought in WW2, and did their part to help liberate Italy. She knows first hand what it is like  when the Germans and fascists knocked on her parents door looking for "men and boys" to help them fight the allies.  She is 78 years young, a  woman of great faith, a survivor of great losses, and is sharp as a tack.  She is a walking, living, breathing, bit of history, and is one of our country's greatest WW2 living treasures.

Evening everyone. I should post this here, too. Rest in peace Mr. President.

Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord,
Then, I am ready to go!
Just a look at the Horses
Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side
So I shall never fall
For we must ride to the Judgment
And it's partly, down Hill.

But never I mind the steeper
And never I mind the Sea
Held fast in Everlasting Race
By my own Choice, and Thee.

Goodbye to the Life I used to live
And the World I used to know
And kiss the Hills, for me, just once
Then -- I am ready to go!
~ Emily Dickinson
