“Hi, I’m Stevie Nicks and I’m proud to be an American. I’m also so proud that so many U.S. troops took part in the landing of D-Day. This marked the beginning of the end of World War II.”
Your heroes are dying ~ the old ones, the great ones ~ the ones that you looked up to aren’t looking so good anymore.
And the ones that are growing up are crazier than we were. But a war can always be won, well, if there’s a sense in trying. Not much is really secret anymore.
We all grow up and the veils come down, but the children go on~
