\\We fought hard, and long to keep our country free, we created music , film and a spirit that changed our world, coming soon, my observations of what happened during the Second World War, as a child of 7 -11.
"Enchanted" it was a time, when men where drafted and lost their dreams of the future, their opportunities some lost their girl friends to other men. Some women lost their men to women in foreign lands. How many never came home to pick up their dream? How many came home to never know life the same again? What sacrifices ! We rolled bandages at the kitchen table at night, we saw the horror of war at our Saturday "kids" matinee! Instead of Cowboys and Indians we took to playing and singing songs like this, and winning our make believe battles of the war, in the vacant fields and yards around Hollis Street in Framingham, Mass.
