Quote for the week
This is my favorite new motto!! I think the message is a good one, especially in uncertain times like these.
Original WWII Poster ~
The words seem to be exactly what people crave hearing at the moment - "Keep Calm and Carry On". The original poster was red, with a white crown and white writing. It was designed to help calm jangled nerves in England if the Germans landed on British shores - but they never did, so the poster was never used.
In the Spring of 1939, with war against Germany all but inevitable, the British Government's Ministry of Information commissioned a series of propaganda posters to be distributed throughout the country at the onset of hostilities. It was feared that in the early months of the war Britain would be subjected to gas attacks, heavy bombing raids and even invasion. The posters were intended to offer the public reassurance in the dark days which lay ahead.
