re: #128 subsailor68

On the WWII topic, my wife’s mom ran Red Cross clubs on the bomber bases in England. She told us that the girls would watch the bombers take off. They’d pick up a pebble for each plane that left.

When the guys returned, they’d drop a pebble for each plane that landed.

Her saddest day was the one where she didn’t drop a single pebble.

The black days/months of that bomber offensive must have been awful.
