By Allan Seiden
Events on Dec. 7, 1941 would prove the catalyst to a wide range of changes in American life. One of on-going significance was the change in lifestyle and career options possible for women. World War II proved pivotal in initiating this liberating and demanding process of change. For some women the war years (1942-1945) meant active military service. For others, service meant working in government offices, and in the factories and munitions plants that produced the vast quantity of equipment and goods that victory demanded, with the United States called The Arsenal of Democracy. Still others, like the author's mother, followed drafted husbands to stateside postings, returning home to raise newborns as single parents when the call came for their husbands to be transferred. So it was that Allan Seiden was born at Camp Carson, Colorado, where his father, an Army Sergeant, was posted until an untimely transfer just days before Mr. Seiden was born. This book, in the story it tells, is dedicated to those many women who rose to the challenge, maintaining continuity, not only for millions of men in arms, but in the nation's ability to meet the unrelenting demands of the war effort. Working for the common good, they helped redefine and broaden the role of women in the life of the nation.
The first 54 pages are dedicated to the history of American women in World War II. The last five pages are postcards.
Proud to be a supporter of the PHP cause. Especially when I get the privilege to wear a shirt honoring our boys who have been lost but not forgotten. Please continue to add new and distinctive shirts and I will keep on buying!
The shirt is pretty and fit is true to size. When I finish the hike the shop outside was closed. I’m glad I was able to purchase my accomplishment (shirt and certificate) online.
I purchased this flag as a gift for a friend’s 65th birthday. I was looking for something unique and this flag really filled the bill. It was a simple process and everything went as planned. Once the flag arrived I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase. It was everything I expected. Being able to add the certificate with my friends fathers name was a special extra!
This Tee Shirt comes in a beautiful shade of blue with the Diamond Head Natural Historic Site in a stunning green with the circle around it. It also has a smaller version of the Diamond Head on the sleeve. Very unique.
I had the privilege in 2017 to visit Pearl Harbor. It was a visit that I had wanted to make since I was a boy. The tour and the guide provided insights with great reverence to the "Day of Infamy". Since the visit I wanted to have a flag that was flown on the Arizona, I am building a new home and it will be a pleasure to fly this flag on my new flag pole in memory of and reverence for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice that day in 1941. Thank you!
