    Something to consider. Many of us growing up watched these movies, and I remember thinking, "Some of those involved, were still alive", I'd loved to have talked to them to hear their stories. Today? No one involved is alive today. yes, generations have passed, and many are moving on as I type, I just hope people see what a freer time it was, no politics, no political correctness, just people struggling to eek out a living without Govt interference. Like many of you, I too yearn for the days of our youth and the freedoms and Liberties afforded us. To the youth of today? Remember, your Rights don't come from Govt, they come from God!
