War Bonds

How Can You Talk About That?

October 23, 2014 Cindy Hval

Recently, I caught up with a fellow who was a radio operator on a bomber during WWII. I asked him why he didn’t talk about his war experience with his wife when he returned home.
He said, “Thirty-six of us went over in my group. Only three of us came back. How can you talk about that?”

I love your column and always look forward to reading it! Whether it be comments about motherhood, “daughterhood” (some time ago, your article about a parent brought me to tears. Come to think of it, it wasn’t the only one!), or life experience in general, I know I am going to be richly rewarded for reading your column.

Thank you for your wonderful enlightening, entertaining columns.

Order War Bonds

War Bonds eloquently tells the stories of the love for the ‘girl back home’ which sustained and gave courage to so many young men during times of great peril. A must read for any romantic.
