I Am Interested In Ww1 and Ww2

Today is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima

[i]Threescore and fifteen years ago,

On Iwo Jima's scoriac stones

Many a young man bled and died

For country, God or emperor.

Now looking at this desolate isle

Today, but little more remains

Than mostly unkempt monuments

And dreadful artifacts of war,

Rusting where they fell, so long ago.[/i]

I wish more young people were interested in these critical moments in the history of our people, our nation, and our world. I applaud you for your enthusiasm.

Thank you.

@Makinmd That is true, but it is impossible to imagine the sheer horror those people went through without context. Equally, it must have been heart-breaking to have endured those horrors without the proper appreciation. I don't feel schools do enough to keep the level of appreciation alive.
