You're Top Poster: #127   | Base Brat Hi I'm what they called a base brat  being raised on bases in Canada by a WW2 veteran whom was a prisoner of war in Germany.I thought growing up on bases was wild and wouldn't trade it for anything. I thought being raised by a prisoner of war was a little off the wall. I think this site will be very informative and may give some of us an insite to why the military guys are the way they are. I also think that no matter what war, or on what side they fought for, they will have a very interesting story to tell. Looking forward to joining a few chats. |

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #127 | Nice Site Quote:
I'm working on one as well and you can find it at A Memorial Obituary for War Veterans A site dedicated to war veterans Obituary canadian american english japanese german russian and more. I thought maybe guys like my dad, who always said the German people were nice but the Nazies were a crazy lot, would like a final resting place on the net where they can tell their story. | |
