Glad to know that. Tens of thousands daily, children and babies who can't possible

understand what is happening and why they aren't having a regular meal.

Perhaps the donated meals are needed in Poland at the border

and b order crossings in Romania, etc.

Words: When they say "Red Wave" coming, I say-

Red wave = Putin wave
.
That has shut up a few.

Pray for people of Ukraine and their neighbors as they confront the challenges

ahead in the next few days, months and beyond.
May their needs be met.

Some more than others.

There was a lot of anti-German and anti-Japanese propaganda produced during WWII

that I remember and that we sometimes see in a historical context.
In addition to the interring of Japanese-US citizens and taking their property in many cases. they were blatantly referred to as "Japs" in headlines, etc; i.e., the discrimination was approved of and advanced by US government and institutions.
Germans were similarly demeaned. I recall the Disney short comic film, with the song "In the Fuhrer's face." - Funny, and we all laughed.
In WWI, streets with German names were renamed to more Anglo-sounding names or words.

Some of this was harmless and in support of our troops and war effort; some of it had deep problematic effects that have lasted until the present day.

Letcher county KY is as deep as you can get in Appalachia;

in SE Kentucky on the Far SW corner of Virginia.
