A friend sent me this site with old restored old photos from WW2 America. I thought they were interesting as they show the America that USED to be. During the war resources were short and people sacrificed and did without. When the men went to war women pitched in and started building the planes and bombs. How would it be today? Would we sacrifice and do without? Would we all chip in and our part for the war effort? Doubtful.
