Everything is possible during a time of war. People are forced to battle on behalf of their countries, whether they agree with it, or not. Millions of our ancestors have fought and died during war, which at the end of the day, proves to have no reason at all. Despite the unbearable situations people were in during those times of conflict, here are iconic photos that will remind us, despite going through the most difficult of time, love is the best thing to have on our side.
Let these pictures be a reminder as to how lucky we are to experience a peaceful life with our loved ones by our side. After all, these people still knew what love meant in times of despair.
