The contentious faction that is the political atmosphere makes me feel wistful for the days – long ago – where America pulled as one. The 40’s, when everyone pitched in to win the war.  

Here’s Rosie the Riveter, sporting her love of America on her arm with a heart tattoo. Behind her is another heart – filled with the stars and stripes that is the American flag.  

Can you imagine this current crop of Americans having to have their gasoline and food rationed with coupons? Growing victory gardens? No new clothes or shoes?  Nah, I can’t either. 

But I can dream, can’t I?
