  • Love the share on this. A Ration book, was prolly very well kept and safeguarded in those times! I love old books and mementos like that!

  • I wonder how many will care for these things when I go...

  • Different war, different times, different people... In a way we are getting rationed, but instead of getting us with limited quantities we keep having to pay more for the plentiful stuff that there is...

  • Good analogee... Price today is the great rationer....

  • In general people were far healthier during the war, as they could not eat all the bad stuff that people eat now! At least that was the case in the UK and Sweden, where they had rations too, even though officially Sweden did not take part in the war, claiming 'neutrality'..;) I don't recommend war and rations as a way of slimming down though.. :)

  • Burger King isn't good fur us? he he he

  • Wow, definitely keep that! It's probably not worth much but it has great historical value.

    I'm in Minneapolis. During the summer, there's a World War 2 weekend at Historic Fort Snelling. Rooms full of memorabilia!

    Well, about supporting our soldiers, I'm asking people to stop buying those - Support our troops - magnetic ribbons.

    Why? Because they're made in China! That is not supporting the brave American men and women who are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • They may have no choice!

  • They may learn...

  • That is really kewl... I have quite a few fossils but no human artifacts that old to my knowledge but I have never had a so called expert look at my arrowhead collection....
