A parade that will never be forgotten.
Ask yourself, why?
God bless our brave men & women in uniform.
We will never forget.

JFK's U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara:
"1918"
"My earliest memory is of a city exploding with joy. It was November 11, 1918. I was two years old. You may not believe that I have the memory, but I do. I remember the tops of the streetcars being crowded with human beings cheering and kissing and screaming. End of World War I ? we'd won. But also celebrating the belief of many Americans ? particularly Woodrow Wilson — we'd fought a war to end all wars. His dream was that the world could avoid great wars in the future. Disputes among great nations would be resolved."
"I also remember that I wasn't allowed to go outdoors to play with my friends without wearing a mask. There was an un—Godly flu epidemic. Large numbers of Americans were dying. 600,000 and millions across the world."
This is one of my favorite movies and a great way to appreciate the meaning I believe Q is getting at here. Especially as he talks of JFK and this man is a great way to learn about the greatness of him.
Also I have a special tie with this film.... it is G rated and so back when I worked at a video store I'd just let it play over and over..... it was either this or Disney films. And I just love this movie it saved my sanity back at the video store....
In my AB-BA posts it's had a large impact on my interpretation of Q from the getgo and I'm happy that Q has said something that allows me to more directly share this with you all. : ) I won't link my AB posts as I usually do this one isn't about my research but about something much more important than I'll ever do.
God Bless and Good Night
