Re: [Chrysler300] we are lucky - D Day anniversary

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great words, thanks.

I was 6 then, but can remember a little of the war and what we did at home
to help. I collected papers and cans for the salvage effort, my Dad and I
grew a "Victory Garden" in the near-by park and served the produce on our
table. We also rented a spare bedroom out to a series of young ladies who
came from the country to work in the factorys all during the war. My Mom
still gets christmas cards from 2 of them.

Thanks again, it's nice to know that other nationals are greatful for the
American Might.
