Cold War Narrative

“Be quiet Private Smith”, said Commander Johnson in a hushed tone. “Sir, I’m almost positive I heard footsteps coming our way, Sir!”, Private Smith hissed back.

Even though it was pitch black with the occasional fire of a gunshot in the distance too far to be close by them. He was certain he had heard the slight tap of shoes across the pavement. “Private Smith, stand down.

I also know America would be a whole lot different without these major events that have happened in history and someday when a peaceful country and/or world does come along we’ll have to hope for the better, not for the
