Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:81 years ago they fought fascism to save their world. Today it's our world, the cancer of fascism is back, and its fastest growing tumor is spreading inside the United States. We need the courage and unity they had. We don't even face life-threatening risk today like they did 81 years ago. Could a day come when we might? If we fail to fight with our speech, our economic strength, and our bodies en masse to attack this disease, we can't say for sure that it won't. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WWII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WWII</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DDay</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/veterans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#veterans</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a>

This Is My GlasgowIf you examine the northeast corner of the parapet of the Queen Margaret Drive Bridge in Glasgow, you can the granite is covered with pockmarks (top picture). These were caused by shrapnel from a German parachute mine which exploded at 12:40 on the 14th of March 1941. It destroyed a row of tenements on the opposite side of Queen Margaret Road (see maps below), killing one person.

World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat.
