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.
