Joe remembered the posters. Keep Calm And Carry On. They were there to help keep morale. And then when the air raid sirens wouldn't stop and the threat of the bombs loomed, the British public did just that. They kept calm, they carried on. Even when the bombs started to fall. Their attitude had been rubbing off on Joe. He didn't understand at first but the more he got to know the Brits, the more it made sense to him and the easier it was to get into the spirit of things, even in the face of destruction and death.
"I was" Joe replied, taking another drag from the cigarette. "I had a small but meaningful radio broadcast. I managed to get a very lucrative offer to head over to New York and work on a brand new television show but I turned it down. Felt I was needed there in London to be the voice of the hard working men and women of Britain" he added with a smile. "I couldn't just turn my back on them and leave. I felt I had to do my part... So being here, just doesn't feel right"
