McCook women on the home front
Monday, April 20, 2009
World War II was the last time, perhaps the only time, that our nation was near universally united in a common cause -- that of defeating our enemies in Europe and in Asia. Our young men (and some women), between the ages of 18 and 35, who were physically able, served in one or another branch of Service. Those who were not physically fit for combat found a way to serve their country in vital war industries, building tanks or planes for "our boys", as did so many women.
