It is so bittersweet to see the faces of the people from long ago as they make the war so real for me. Then, they fade away and leave the repaired areas as if they were never there. But, they were there and their sacrifices ensured our lives could be lived this many years later. I am so touched and grateful and thankful for what they did. Your photos give me a way to honor them all. Thank you.

These pictures make me so sad. To think of all the soldiers of this generation and how most are no longer with us. Including my dad who was 23 and a tank commander with the 13,th armoured division that liberated a consintration camp in Austria. He was a hero but mostly an everyday hero to my sister and I as a father. Came back to his job with the Pennsylvania RR. Lived a good life like so many that returned. The men that didn't come home made such a sacrifice. They lost so much.

Unfortunately, the West supports that Zionist virus that was recovered from the West to be placed in the bodies of the Arab countries, so that the Zionists grow and in their hearts that old hatred, envy, arrogance and narcissism, which even God is tired of them and makes them taste various torments to the point that they are transformed into monkeys and pigs. What we see is blind Western support for the Jewish Zionists. It made Muslims confused about their affairs and inclined toward correct religiosity, which would ultimately lead to the start of religious wars that would not end until the Day of Resurrection.
