    My great grandmother was an immigrant that went to Honduras to find work and after the war erupted she was among the huge wave of Salvadorans returning to El Salvador. She survived this war and the Salvadoran Civil War and has passed away yesterday September 7th 2020 due to the Coronavirus here in Texas. Her memory will always live on. Adios Abuelita 💕

She would live her new life here in Texas where she had a puppy who she loved a lot though to this day that puppy hates me, her ashes were taken to El Salvador last month

      Actually Nicaragua supported Honduras, they sent jet fighters, ammunition, guns, planes and other resources to Honduras because Somoza was bestfriends with Lopez Arellano. So no, Nicaragua didn't just watch they were openly supporting Honduras and they basically double-teamed El Salvador, which I think is funny cause I hate El Salvadorians lol.

      The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns-leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.

    My grandpa is El Salvador, and my dad is Hondurian, my dad was about 6-7 years old when this war broke out, he remembers it vividly. That was the day my grandpa fought for his life with a machete, he fled to El Salvador bleeding, he barely made it alive. It would be another 8-10 years before my dad saw his dad again. What people don't realize, is that before the war people of El Salvador and Honduras lived side by side in Honduras, worked together, played with each other, married each other. This was a gruesome war that turned families/ neighbor's on each other.

My Grandpa's best friend grabbed a machete and fended them off, they said and I quote, "your a traitor, if you want to defend this salvadoran, we will kill you too" he said, "that's fine, kill me, but I'll be sure to take 3 of you with me".
