I was really surprised after I took this photo of a Vietnam drawing how it turned out, in honor the FALLEN HEROES of the Vietnam War.
Took this pic in Tampa,Fl.

From the looks of this building's facade, I'd say the war WAS yesterday.

Several conflicting reports came in today from our reporters in Glasgow, but evidently the War on Words has broken out again.
It seems pretty clear-cut that BBC Scotland have launched the first salvo but we should be able to confirm after tomorrow afternoon's press conference.

A young child’s understanding of war and violence differs from an adult’s in many ways that only maturity and understanding of consequences could alter. Young boys play war and recreate the battles they see in film, comics, video games, and sometimes artwork, and I wish to rebuild many of these moments of playful violence.
Art history is teeming with charismatic imagery of war and violence. When studying artwork from artists such as John Trumbull, Jacques-Louis David, and Benjamin West, one notices its obvious positive portrayal through beauty and righteousness. This perspective of war continues in present-day via media and entertainment. I am interested in the childhood understanding and incorporation of violence into playful activities. As a child I took what I saw in art museums and in the media and inserted it into the games I played with neighborhood children. We assimilated the rules of games we learned at school—such as capture the flag and tag football—into games of war. Teams would be created and separated by colored streamers and banners.
The lack of life-or-death consequences that we experienced made real military battles seem appealing to us, and it is this perspective I wish to bring through with the images. It is a body of work full of fighting and chaos, yet there is no blood or physical harm being done to any participants. Children refrain from hurting each other to keep the game going, but this also goes to show that a child’s understanding of war is without consideration of its outcome.
The end result is a body of work that brings a generation of young men and women into the same playing field and portrays the absurdity and idealism of such activities. I wanted to use my own pastimes and games that were played in the neighborhood of my youth. Using the same locations and structures I used in my own childhood I was hoping to stage my own memories of playful actions. This reenactment of mature activities has been repeated through many people’s back yards and playgrounds and I question if the longing for military glory fades with adulthood.

The World Wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45
During the two World Wars, 1914-18 and 1939-45, millions of lives were lost. The majority of the servicemen and women, who died in those wars lie buried in the countries where they was fallen. Most members of the Commonwealth forces, who died in Germany, are buried in war cemeteries such as this, which are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission with the assistance and goodwill of the German people. Those whose graves are unknown are commomorate on special memorial plaque.
This quiet resting place, like those elsewhere, is dedicated in memory for those, who lost their lives.

The war in Ukraine is devastating communities and threatening the lives of millions. UNDP teams have been on the ground throughout this crisis, helping to save lives and support relief efforts, but the needs are rapidly increasing.
Based on three decades of trusted partnership with the Government of Ukraine, UNDP has been working with municipalities, civil society organizations, and business associations across the country. Now, leveraging this extensive network and working as part of the coordinated UN response, we have scaled up support to the people of Ukraine. We’re focusing on immediate crisis response, maintaining core government functions and laying the groundwork for early recovery. We are also supporting emergency relief in neighbouring countries, ensuring a strong focus on resilience and development for the millions of displaced people who have fled the violence.

Old scrapbook I've found at a flea market a while ago.
It has about 160 pictures in it cut from a magazine in or around 1918 or 1919.

Canada participated in the Korean War of 1950-53 as part of the United Nations.
As a former Japanese possession, Korea had been divided between the USSR, occupying the North, and the US, occupying the South, following the Second World War. The country remained divided and a Communist government was installed in the North. The Korean War began on 25 June 1950 when forces from Communist North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States led a United Nations coalition to repel the invaders. Canada joined the UN coalition and sent its armed forces to fight on the Korean peninsula to help stop Communist expansion.
The first Canadian contribution to the conflict came with the dispatch to Korean waters of the destroyers HMCS Cayuga, Athabaskan and Sioux on 12 July 1950. The RCAF also began regular trans-Pacific flights to Japan to support UN operations in Korea.
Canada's peacetime army in 1950 was tiny, consisting of some 20,000 all ranks. The government therefore decided to raise a volunteer force, the Canadian Army Special Force (CASF) for service in Korea. The majority of CASF volunteers were veterans of the Second World War. Later, regular Canadian army units were rotated to the front in Korea.
Canada participated in Korea for three years, on land, sea and in the air. Much of the land combat took place in very harsh conditions. Canadian units distinguished themselves during these actions, including the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, which received a US Presidential Unit Citation.
In all, 26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War. Of these, 516 lost their lives. Canada had shown it was willing to stand by the United Nations and its allies to stop aggression.
