I often imagine what it would have been like to be able to have
served in the Navy during World War II instead of serving when I
did. I have to think that it was a tough time for all but
especially the civilians who had to deal with rationing and
watching every move they made due to security risks. The part that
I would have liked is the music of the era and going to all the
live bands that used to play during that time, like Glenn Miller,
Louis Jordan, and Benny Goodman. The sailors of that time saw ports
of call that are restricted to history books now like Shanghai,
Athens, Malta, and Marseille. I also would have liked to wear my
uniform all the time like they used to; unlike now where civilian
clothes are authorized all the time. It just feels like there was
something special about that time while in the military and maybe
it was because there was a different kind of war on. The war back
then was embraced by all in one way or another; whether you liked
it or not, you still supported it. Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to live in a different period of time? Open the pages
of this book and see if you don't just go back to a different time.
Take a journey as far back as the Dunmore War's of 1774, before
there was a United States, and see if you can put yourself there.
The nice thing about this book is that you have over 230 years to
pick from. Just be careful what period you pick from or who you
think you'd like to be; not everybody returns.
