But I can see them not understanding. My younger daughter likes shoes quite a bit, and I made a joke about Imelda Markos-when she gave me a blank look, I realized she wasn't even alive when Imelda Markos bought all her shoes.

For those that remembered the "good fight" of WWII in 1973 would find that their memory would have had less years to travel back to the end of WWII than someone today remembering the Vietnam war during our current War on Terror.

The 1991 Gulf War is further back in time now than the Vietnam War (1973 for the U.S.) was when I was a freshman.
