Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Old Goat in FL wrote: Hello All, Lots of pleasentries on here and that is good. If a certain person (they have had enough publicity so I will leave out their title) does not like it they can always find a moaning and groaning blog somewhere. But there is one serious note that I have to address. Today is December 7. I know most of you were not around in 1941 but I hope as a nation we never forget that date. It changed so many lives. More dead then any war in modern history, complete change in our way of living etc:. On a personal note I remember the Air Raid Drills and a couple of scares that were not drills. We had them at home and in school. Prospect Park was an armed fortress with an Artillery Battery stationed there. The Brooklyn Bridge had signs which read "NO CAMERAS OR PICTURE TAKING ALLOWED FROM THIS BRIDGE" Brooklyn Navy Yard was in sight of the bridge. The Brooklyn Army Base on the water by Bush Terminal was alive with shipments of supplies and troops overseas. There were short takes in the Movie theaters about buying War Bonds and notices which said "Loose lips sink ships". President Roosevelt in his speech to congress said "December 7 1941 is a day which will live in infamy!"
Okay now we can get back to pleasant things. Jim, what do you mean I am regressing?? Just because i put up a baby picture? HO HO HO. :santa:

God our Stronghold and Shield: Watch over those dear to us serving in this time of war. Go before them to make their path safe, Shelter them by night and by day. Lift them up when they grow weary. Fortify their hearts when they are afraid. Defend them through the storm in the assurance of your presence and mercy, and keep them in the companionship of Jesus, through whom we pray. Amen.

—The Rev. Jennifer M. Phillips
