THANK YOU

SPECIAL POST

As this year of scandals comes to a close, I'd like to thank you for your readership.  In growing numbers, you have been following all of my blogs and it's indeed heartwarming to know that what I have to say and the opinions I have to give mean something to someone.

My objective in posting these blogs is to keep people aware of what is going on around them in this country, not only from a political standpoint, but also with respect to important stories of every kind that do not make the daily news.  Of course, it is incumbent upon me to add my incredible wit, sarcastic as it maybe at times, sprinkled with a few puns and plays on words to try and put a smile on people's faces when we are living in times that make it difficult to smile.  

With your permission, I'll keep writing and blogging along... It's the American thing to do.

THREE AND A HALF YEARS OF ACOMPLISHMENT

During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services,  invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany. 

It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site.
