TODAY'S MOTO PHOTO - WWII RECRUITING

8 December 1941 - Hundreds of young men turned up at the 90 Church Street recruiting center to volunteer in the Navy and Marine branches a day following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Recruiting facilities strained to their utmost to process qualified personnel.

When I was a recruiter, I experienced the same reaction from patriots the morning of 11 September 2001 - Not of this scale, of course.

    Victor,

    Thanks for the link!! These'll definitely be archived on the blog for future reference.

    I don't have access to the internet very often here in A'stan, so if I miss something like this I never get to see it.

    Cheers!
