OUR BRITISH CITIZEN!
By all accounts you might think
today would be a British Holiday. But
I'm not referring to Easter! You see
April 9th is "Winston Churchill Day!"
Right here in the good old USA!
It's got nothing to do with the
fact that, at one point or another, most
babies resemble the World War II
British Prime Minister.
Instead in marks the day Mr.
Churchill was made an honorary US
citizen! President John F. Kennedy
proclaimed it so in 1963.
A couple years ago I saw the
movie "The Darkest Hour" which
recalled Churchill's brilliant
leadership of Great Britain in the
fight against Nazi Germany well
before our country got into the
war.
I always liked the guy. I always
favored those who could make a
good impression through their
speech. Churchill probably would
have made a good newsman. If he
could only shake that "English
accent."
He was also famous, of course,
for flashing that two finger victory
sign that symbolized the confidence
of the allies during the war.
I see a lot of people flashing
the sign these days but many seem
to have forgotten you're suppose to
use two fingers! Maybe they're
not calling for victory!
Anyway, happy Winston
Churchill Day to you all! Hope all
your NEWS is good!
