Happy VE-Day & thanks to all the Vets and this includes , the GI-Joes, the Tommies, the Ivan's and all the allied forces

Its a shame that Covid--had to put a damper that would have been a really huge world wide celebration
It is a national holiday in the U.K., but the street parties and parades that were planned had to be cancelled because of the Chinese Virus 👿, but the song by UK singer Vera Lynn sums it up “we’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day”
Stay safe.
