One of the things my brother found entertaining was Mom's mentioning how much fun she had during WWII. I guess the perception is that 'war' is serious business and no one ever has fun. Mom has told me some of the stories of her adventures (or misadventures, if you will) and believe me, they did know how to have a good time in the midst of a lousy time. I think facing your own mortality in the way they all did also made them reach out and enjoy life all the more while they had the chance. So, to all our WWII Vets out there, I hope more of you were able to have some fun during the war.
Funny thing is, only one news outlet even mentioned the fact that Mom had fun. I find that interesting, that we're all so focused on the seriousness of war that we miss the fact that these men and women need to find an upside as well. So, to all the servicemen and women out there.. I hope you all know how to have some fun as well.
