#21: Nana’s Crush
Living through WWII was an era of profound challenges and sacrifices, not only for soldiers on the frontlines but also for those on the homefront. Women played an integral role in maintaining morale and providing crucial emotional support back home. They took on various roles, from working in munitions factories to volunteering as nurses and participating in victory gardens.
Through letters, care packages, and community engagement, they offered solace and a sense of connection to troops overseas. It sounds like this person’s grandma had a deep connection to the American soldiers during that time, as she saved their photos tucked away in her house all these years! We wonder what kind of connection they had.
