Default Response to the reported dead ringer for Stan Laurel of Laurel &Hardy fame

Are you an American, as I assume? Did you live during the Second World War?
What "deprivations, sacrifices and hardships" did the average American on
the home front suffer? Please do tell.


Donna Evleth- -


I was born in 1932 and vividly remember the gold stars hanging from
the windows of many homes including my own when growing up during the
war

The Madame Donna Evleth, laughingly claiming to be a "historian" born
a few years later than me, was either too young or too sheltered to
appreciate the presence and signifigance of those gold stars in the
windows.-

gold star= resident/member of armed forces killed in action

silver star= resident/member of armed forces wounded in action

blue star= resident/member of armed forces

It was really sad to walk by as a kid and one day or deliver a
newspaper as I did back then and see a blue star turn to gold on
that flag hanging in the living room window, particularly if you
remembered the designated person
