Good morning,A wet one that it is.Will be staying put. During World War 2 at that time there was graffiti all over the place . Including some of the fighter plane. I remember this well and most of us have grown up Kilroy was here. At the dismal time of the war.Kilroy brought smile to our faces when we saw them. Some of you may know this.Care to share your story. I remember doing this myself.We all fell in love with Kilroy

@amadeo I think I must have 'thought' I was commenting on another post since that makes no sense at all. That happens when I have too many tabs open.

We just took this sort of graffiti (we didn't call it that back then), for granted. Fun to see.
