Thanks for that. I think often about the military nurses and the incredible job, under intense conditions, they did. Also the volunteers, the Donut Dollies and USO performers providing much needed moral boosting.

Side note: Don't know if we ever discused it, but my brother Tom, awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received while serving in Viet Nam.

I did not know Tom was a Purple Heart recipient. That's both sad and impressive. I'm so grateful for him and wish I had been able to meet him. Thank you for telling me that.

Thanks for this, Mimi. I did not know a lot of this. And I appreciate how you assign value to devalued work and invisible sacrifices. I'm so glad I'm subscribed to you.

I will read this kind note multiple times over the next few weeks and probably months. It means so much!
