War Brought Trials and Anxiety at Home and Overseas

War Brought Trials and Anxiety at Home and Overseas begins the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. Lifestyles changed at home with our men, and then 18-year-old boys, leaving for overseas. Rationing, salvaging, blackouts and women working became the norm. The Germans missed no time in sinking our ships, bringing essentials. Survivor's stories bring horror. Love letters bring tears, as does, stories of those who survived prison camps, and internment in places the Japanese seized. Diaries recorded events and conditions that one couldn't write in censored letters. Pictures released after the war tell more than words in love letters.
