The Power of Hope

When I didn't know how much cheaper gas was on base, he was beside himself. And then we found out it was eight cents a gallon cheaper. That immediately made me think of Stalingrad when we were reading about Stalingrad. The fact that the soldiers, when something would give them a glimmer of hope, it would totally change their attitude. When they thought that the German troops were coming to rescue the guys that were in Stalingrad in the pocket in Stallingrad, they were all excited and they were, you know, happy.
