#8 The little girl injured in the bombing raid looks like she needs someone to hold and talk to her for a while. I'm the father of now grown girls and I know that look and what to do.

I'd so much prefer to have lived during these times than those in which I'm in. Would have been so nice to have been born around the turn of last century - I'd be gone now and wouldn't have to witness all the ugliness happening today.

David Heinz, I wanted to say that she looks scared, sad and alone. Oops

My! That little girl in the hospital scared, sad and alone. She needs someone to give her a great big hug. I love looking at vintage photos.
