WW2 letters


A woman at work in America.

Write a letter to a friend or family member. Think of what might be in a letter like this: it would be on a specific date & from a specific city. this letter might describe your hopes, feelings, expectations, fears, etc. It might reference current events (or, then-current events), technology, or politicians. It might describe people, places, settings, technology and more. It might include the other person's life, perspective or questions. In fact, the person the letter is written to might be one of the people on that list!

1. Who you are & how you decided:

A young 19 year old American girl. I got married a few months ago because my lover was going to war.

I was planning on joining the WACS but I was too young. They had changed the date to 21 years old. So, instead I joined the Civilian Defense.

I learned to identify airplanes and learn the plan of attacks in case another attack similar to Pearl Harbor were to happen.
