I'm so old I don't remember this, but it's me and Snowball sitting on Mom's Pontiac.
The black-out headlights were so the enemy bombers couldn't see our headlights at night.
I don't remember any enemy bombers either.

I remember those blackout headlights. I was a kid, and it was long past the time to worry about bombers, but I thought they were pretty cool. Especially on Uncle Ray's MG.
This one just occurred to me the other day: I remember when there was no such thing as tuna packed in water. It all came packed in oil. The new way of selling it packed in water became a thing during the low-fat craze of the Eighties.
I remember a gold star flag in the window of a house on our street during WW II.
A blue star represented a family member serving the the military, while a gold star represented a family member who had died while on duty.
The neighbors next door had a son who served in WWII. He was never the same afterward. My father referred to him as one of the uncounted casualties of the war.
