Food was such a vital commodity that Victory Gardens sprung up all over America. It was their small effort to help alleviate the shortage of food. Since sugar was so scarce, they had to use honey and a lot of the recipes had honey as an ingredient instead of sugar.
War bonds were encouraged and bought (no matter how small a bond you purchased) so that the United States could pay for the cost of the war. This did a number of things, it got everyone involved in the war effort, it helped the families save for the future, and it helped finance the war.
Data on my husband's involvement in the war will be coming up.
Wisdom--When each does a little, the little becomes bigger until finally it becomes unstoppable. That is how we won the war.

We can't wait to hear about what grandpa did in the war. Have grandpa write a few of the blogs with his typing skills! :)
