RE: Government Propaganda or Public Awareness Campaign? Duck and Cover... That's Edutainment!

My best recollection (it was, after all, nearly 70 years ago) is that it wasn't at all frightening. It was simply "what was." In retrospect, it was silly, since we were the very definition of Ground Zero, and nothing we did would have saved us. I can tell you that I still recall the chilling sound of that siren - that did frighten me.

Wow. I bet that was frightening. Thank you for sharing that perspective. I hadn't anticipated being able to hear from a primary source on this topic. I am so happy I did! Never underestimate the power of steemit.
