A local channel here plays Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday nights. Every once in a while we catch it, and last Sunday the message was my favorite I've ever heard. I may be the last person in the world to know this, but I didn't realize that the Keep Calm and Carry On posters were from WWII. They were printed by the British government to encourage citizens as the Nazis threatened to invade. A few years ago someone found an old poster in a bookstore and the classic message quickly caught on. I always loved these posters, but now I really love them knowing their history. You can read the full message here.

You are not the last person to know that, I didn't know until you just told me:) Thanks for sharing, I had always wondered how the quote had caught on and where it had come from. So glad I know the history about it now, thanks for sharing!
