Perhaps a dissenting opinion, but those soldiers on D-Day probably would not have advanced one inch up those beaches if they saw what this country and Western civilization has become today.
IMHO the change started with the boomer generation and progressed... tail-gunner Joe was right... Alinsky had a plan and it's being used against us.... education is no longer what it was... indoctrination... had a devout communist that visited red china as a professor in college in 75... he never stopped his rant... never... even had information he should NOT have had... links involved I would guess... a return of civic's MIGHT help but???
give a 1944 Brit of what London looks like today and they'd packed up their ditty - moved to Australia and fought the Nips instead
Or else made peace with the Germans and not fought the damn war in the first place. Or help them fight Stalin and the Bolsheviks. Churchill's and Roosevelt's handlers had different plans, though.
I could be wrong ,, but it seems the start of this was when Jimmy Carter formed the Department of Education,, and they started changing the curriculum,, and now today ,, these kids aren't being taught shit ,, especially about our own country and it's history . So if you think about it ,,, if they started today ,, and taught US history in the depths that most of us were taught ,, it would be 16-18 yrs before a high school kid left school with the same education we had. And don't get me wrong ,, I'm not a educational scholar ,, I was one of the kids that barely passed most grades ,,, but I still know more about our history than these kids today ,, hell ,,, sometimes I watch some of those videos where some guy is asking college kids ,, or just your average citizen,, different history ,, math ,, or other basic questions, and I'm surprised how much my brain has retained ,, and haven't even thought about in 45 yrs .
At the very least, you should digitize everything, put it on DVD for long-term storage and back it up on a USB flash drive for current use - then - after everything has been photographed and scanned and digitized. I would take those logs, and type out word-for-word, date-for-date a copy into a couple different file formats to include a simple text format, just in case. That stuff is priceless. EDIT: While typing this it made me remember that I have two old soup bowls that I brought back from Germany. The flat I rented there was the old Opa's, who was an SS officer during the war, shocked the snot out of me when I saw his photo at the landlord's apartment (his daughter) who lived right above me. I rented the place fully furnished and pulled an old bowl out and on the bottom was 'Sudetenland' with a German swastika. I managed to bring 2 back as keepsakes...need to do something with them but only history nuts would appreciate them so...
