I share letters my Grandfather wrote while fighting Nazis in WWII, while I try to do small things to fight Nazis in current day. I also like animal stuff.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

"I was thinking today about how many letters I have scribbled out in the last two years. You know I never did like to write very much. Well I have wrote more in these two years than I have all the rest of my life..."

"I want to get a money order made out for your birthday present tomorrow if I can. I sold two cartons of cigarettes yesterday for $20 to one of the fellows. They can get $20 a carton in the black market here but I'm too near going home to take any chances on getting caught in that racket."

"We got official notice today that the Division must be ready to leave Bremen (on 24 hours notice) after Nov. 10, and we will sail on the 20th, or as soon after as ships are available. That is official."

"A lot of the German Soldiers are getting back home now that were Prisoners of War and there have been a few cases of G.I.s being jumped on at night. I sort of make it a practice of carrying my little German pistol with me when I am out....it's too late in the game to take any chances now."

"You don't seem to be getting any mail, and of course, you are wishing with all your heart that I am on the way home. I'm so sorry Dear, but keep writing until I tell you to stop, please. I won't tell you to quit writing until I know I am on my way...

He enclosed a letter from his M.P. friend who had already come back to the US. The stationery he wrote it on was WILD, plus I thought his comments about what all he had to do to become a regular civilian again were interesting.

"I went to take a shower today and I see that a carnival is moving in where the circus was...This is really a lively town for what is left of it. I didn't go to the circus and I don't suppose I'll go to the carnival - I wanta go home!"

"We have been turning in more of our equipment this week. About all the organizational equipment we have left is ordinance stuff, like our weapons. At least we are going to be ready to leave soon, whether we get to go or not."

The only thing... there are alerts you can get when someone blocks you. (I'm sure they're not smart enough to know about that though), but if someone who wasn't blocked or was outside BS knows who blocked the accounts and searched your account information...

I'm surprised it took them this long.
I guess they're trying to take it over with Bots like they did Facebook? Or just finding people to target.

Denmark was not hurt at all by the war...I have read a lot about how the 29th Division band and a party of 29th men who set up an exhibit of United Nations war equipment at Copenhagen were entertained by the King and Queen and really treated swell by the people..."

"There seem to be a lot of passes given now. Sometimes I am so disgusted at all this redeployment mess that I have a notion to take another pass regardless of the talk about us leaving for home soon. I would like to go to Denmark. They say it is a lot like Switzerland...
