In this short story, children will read about the brave American servicemen and women of World War II who fought and died for their country in the Pacific at Pearl Harbor and in countries over Europe. Their heroic deeds and patriotism will never be forgotten. Children and adults will also read and learn about the social and economic struggle that American citizens encountered during World War II. American civilians, women, men, and school children played important roles in the defense of their country. Their work on the home front as collectors of scrap metal, paper materials, buyers of U. S.
