The last photo of Hachiko, a Japanese Akita remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner

Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return.

They made a movie about him with Richard Gere.  I cried my bloody leg off.

Iconic photo of an American sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square to celebrate the end of WWII.   If a bloke did this now, he'd be arrested.

Photos of Polish resistance members, then and 76 years later. The Polish resistance played a major role in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

 I love pics like this...fascinating.

 

The younger selves have such open, fresh  beauty, which is obviously no longer there when they are old.

But the life experiences and suffering adds a different kind of beauty to their faces near the end.

I love old faces.....I wonder if some of todays youth, the pampered entitled lot, will have such character on their faces in 70 years time.

smh Oops sorry - no idea what happened there, so I’ll try again!

That’s one of my all-time favourite movies. I must have watched it at least 3 times.

And yeah … crycrycry

This is an amazing story of survival.   

Dieter Dengler (May 22, 1938 – February 7, 2001) was a German-born United States Navy aviator during the Vietnam War and, following six months of imprisonment and torture, became the second captured U.S. airman to escape enemy captivity during the war. Of seven prisoners of war who escaped together from a Pathet Lao prison camp in Laos, Dengler was one of two survivors (the other was Thai citizen Phisit Intharathat). Dengler was rescued after 23 days on the run.
