Column: Keep calm and make responsible choices
The Shawnee News-Star
Do you remember a time when those “Keep calm” posters were everywhere? “Keep calm and drink tea,” “Keep calm and call The Doctor,” and of course, the original, “Keep calm and carry on.”
According to dictionary.com, it is a popular slogan from World War II Britain that calls for “persistence in the face of challenge.”
I didn't live through WWII myself – not by a long shot – but I grew up hearing stories of the Greatest Generation and all they endured. They still loom large in movies, TV shows, and historical fiction. There are so many stories of land girls, rationing, the Blitz, evacuation of children, and more. And that's just in Great Britain, not to mention the horrors going on in Germany and other counties.
