Just one more comments on this and I will stop, since I am sure y’all are tired of me. Yesterday I saw two Internet items that made me think.

One is that they will have an airshow near here, and as part of it they are auctioning off a ride in a restored B-25 bomber. So a couple of guys will pay hundreds of dollars to take a 50 mile ride in a very noisy and uncomfortable beast. They will do this, and in fact the old bomber still flys, because people are determined to remember and honor those who served in WWII.

Another items is that a French Priest is journeying across the former USSR recording the stories of those Jews who died in the “Holocaust of Bullets.” Those estimated 2 million who were simply shot by the Nazis as they took over new territory and thus never made it as far as a concentration camp. So the priest is also working to remember those who died in WWII.

WWII ended but will never be forgotten if these kinds of people have anything to say about it. But it is well to remember that there are still those in the world who would pay – in a manner similar to the B-25 riders – to journey to the graves of the murdered Jews in order not to honor them but to dance on them. And there are many more who would rather just pretend that it never happened. It ended but it is not over.
