 The War Effort: 1942

Americans were asked to:

Search their cabinets, drawers and boxes.

Rummage through their basements.

Forage their sheds.

Comb their attics.

Find anything—anything—that may be useful to the War Effort.

They were collected by:

Adults in cars, trucks, and horse‑drawn carts.

Children dragging factory manufactured or homemade, orange crate wagons.

There were:

Scrap steel drives.

Newspaper drives.

Rag drives.

Milkweed drives… Milkweed? Even milkweed was collected from empty lots to make fillings for life‑jackets.

The came:

From the country.

From the cities.

From neighborhood to neighborhood.

From block to block.

From house to house.

From room to room.

For the country!

For our country!

For America!

God bless America!

Winston Churchill (a U.S. citizen), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (England,Wales,Scotland, and Occupied Ireland), boasted that he had "dreamt of, aimed at, and worked for" killing America's non-interventionist foreign policy and sucking us back over there for a second time to defend British Empire. Churchill's idea to have the U.S. provoke the Japs into retaliating, then FDR allowing them to do so at Pearl Harbor, is nothing short of sedition and treason - both U.S. citizens should've been banged up for selling us out to British Empire. But Pearl Harbor was the nail in our coffin, giving victory to years of relentless British propaganda efforts to get us back over to Europe to defend British interests - even Charles Lindburgh signed up for war the next day, for the British, for British Empire, for U.S.-powered British Empire, for America. GOD helps us!
