"The problem today is that much of the political class is not only unwilling to acknowledge the Islamic nature of the enemy, but to deny we have an enemy at all."Thoughts on the 70th Anniversary of VE Day | The American Spectator
Seventy years ago today, the Nazis surrendered to the Allies in Berlin ending Hitler's 1,000 year reign at twelve. But in those 12 years, the Nazis caused a millenium of misery.
I had the good fortune of being in London during the 50th anniversary of VE Day celebrations which were held at Hyde Park. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. There must have been 2 million people there. There was an enormous crowd yet I didn't feel overwhelmed by it. I had a feeling of liberation, joy, gratitude and merriment.
Many veterans were there naturally mostly British, but there were some Americans and Canadian soldiers in the crowd as well. I thanked as many as I could.
There were many dignataries present. The Royal Family including the Queen Mother were front in center. Many forget that the Queen Mum could have gone to Canada during the war, but opted to stay at Buckingham Palace which was attacked numerous times by the Luftwaffe. One of these attacks nearly claimed her life. The Queen Mum frequently visited other parts of London which had been bombed. This helped morale immeasurably.
