The creation

of the United Service

Organizations,

also known as USO,

in 1941

was a collaborative effort

by the Salvation Army,

the YMCA, the YWCA,

National Catholic

Community Services,

National Travelers

Aid Association,

and the National Jewish

Welfare Board

to heed President

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s call

for an armed services

morale booster.

 

With its main hub

in Times Square,

over 3,000 USO clubs

cropped up worldwide

in just three years

after it was founded,

entertaining GI’s

with Hollywood performers

as well as providing them

with a place to relax

and socialize.

Victory gardens

 

Of all the celebrated

nostalgic markers of World War II,

few are as memorable

as America’s victory gardens

— those open lots,

rooftops and backyards

made resplendent

with beets, broccoli,

kohlrabi, parsnips and spinach

to substitute

for the commercial crops

diverted to troops overseas

during the war.

 

The gardens

were strongly encouraged

by the American government

during World War I

as part of the at-home efforts,

yet they became

immensely more popular

with the introduction

of food rationing

during the Second World War

as processed and canned foods

were shipped abroad.
