    This old card of the 1940's recalls so many memories to our mothers and grandmotheres... At that time fathers had to go to war,leaving their wives and children alone...Memories which still hurt many people today...It was printed in France, and it bears the number 0 506.G and the letters AOE on the back...

      This card is beautiful & haunting! The first thing that came to my mind is the families of today. To all the brave Men & Women, Mothers & Fathers, Sons & Daughters, Brothers & Sisters, Husbands & Wives THANK YOU! The sacrifices then and now are appreciated & not forgotten.
