Default Warsaw Uprising, Aug.1, 1944

Solemn ceremonies were held in Poland with the playing of the national anthem for the 65th anniversary. And no politicians were allowed to speak!

A heroic moment in history. It's good that it is remembered.

Wish we could keep the politicians silent here!!

Oldfella, I wish it were so, but I fear that politicians are like cock-roaches (literally in some cases) in that a few of them always seem to survive and become an infestation again.

That was an excellent idea. Keep the politicos silent. We should do that here.

One of my College History Professors was a teenage Courier/Runner
during the uprising

I always liked him
I liked him even more when I found out his History
