My mom's birthday was Dec. 6th 1940. I was thinking about her yesterday. She is dead now so I could not ask her about this but I was imagining my grandmother and grandfather with their first born being one year plus one day old at that time. What must have been going through their minds when they heard the news? I can only imagine the anxiety. God bless that generations. Thank you for all that you did so that we can live a free nation.

True. And the exact opposite was the case when the Civil War first started. From letters we know that many people were thinking "This should be over in a week or two."
Boy were they wrong.
