Most people do not realize just how big an effect on everyday life the "War effort". had.


WWII... The War WE wanted to win... And WE WON.

Thanks, They were great

Before my time but still greatly appreciated

Nothing warms my heart like cigarettes, whiskey, outboard motors, .22 rifles and a big stack of war bonds!

I particularly loved the one about the Old Grandad Distillery being engaged in the production of alcohol for war purposes!

Rubbing alcohol, one would assume, which is pretty much what Old Grandad still produces!

A bygone era, indeed.
