War Brides...The end of an era...

Alex, thanks so much for posting about this!

It's so awesome to read that this was made to happen for these amazing women. I can only imagine how the love and romance made such a huge difference for our Soldiers experiences over there. So far from home, so far from "life as they knew it before war" and for so long ... I only wish all of the soldiers had had someone special over there for them, especially for the ones who sacrificed their very life.

And what amazing courage and commitment of these women to their loves to marry them and leave everything familiar and everyone of their life, family, and things, habits, environments, behind, to join their new husbands and go to an absolute foreignness to everything and everyone. And some of these women didn't speak ENGLISH YET!!! Wow. That's faith, commitment, and courage. I know that not all of the stories ended happily, but I know that many many did. Adapting must have been pretty hard at times through the years. These women were pioneers spirits. Can you imagine the homesickness bouts these women went through? They're all amazing creatures!

Karmen.
