RE: Pacific War Memorial Museum "Weapons of War" - Beautiful Sunday
I confess that I don't like war stories. However, as wars have existed we must learn from them. Possibly a museum is the best place. You have to look beyond weapons, war strategies or destroyed cities. You have to talk to the civilian population! how he lived the war or how he survived it. Civilians are the true heroes of peace. Thank you for this very complete publication of the Pacific War Memorial Museum. When it is known it is learned and when it is learned there should never be a war. Greetings @watersnake101
Hello there. How are you? True that war is really hard to discuss but it is a part of history and cannot be erased. No one likes wars and sad to say that in some countries there are still wars going on including our country. Some still do not learn from the past and move on to a better future. You are correct that civilians are heroes too as they are the ones who suffers the most during a conflict. My grandpa and grandma lived thru WW2 and I understand the hardships that they faced. From scavenging food, walking miles just to bring home rice and coconuts, scrubbing charcoal on the faces of their daughters just so the Japanese wouldn't take them. I have heard stories and some are very hard to tell. We do not have a perfect world and we could only wish and hope for that one day people would learn from their mistakes. Best we could do is teach our children and the next generation about the scars of history. Learning from it and as you mentioned
Thank you very much for your comment. I appreciate it and have a great week.
