Images of War

Images of WW2

They heard our country's call. They went forth and counted not their own
life dear, but offered it gladly in humanity's name -- for God and for the
right. The greatest war in the history of the world closed August 14, 1945,
when the warring nations laid down their arms. The Germans, Japanese,
and all their allies lay prostrate, defeated. They who knew no mercy and
who had violated every law of humanity and civilization, THEY BEGGED
FOR MERCY. THE VICTORY WAS OURS!

A very special THANK YOU to Boyd Fallwell for
the use of the above segment from his heart stirring
honors services used for WW2 Vets.Make SURE
and visit the American Veterans Honor Guard site.

I want to give a VERY BIG "Thank you" to TOM BOWERMAN for giving me these these photos.

If you'd

like to see more of these and even get the stats on the various ships sunk, and MUCH more then click on his link at the bottom of the page. Be patient... it takes awhile to load... but his site is well worth the wait. It's a little piece of history itself, captured in actual photos on the net.His site has MANY many great pics and links to really great sites... Check it out! (And while you are there... don't miss the oppotunity to order his Autobio-
graphy, FIRECLAY...you'll LOVE where he got the name for it.)
