24 Bronze bas-reliefs were created by sculptor Ray Kaskey. His work depicts both home front and battle scenes highlighting that sacrifice and determination.

(Top Photo) Lend Lease: Prior to the US entry into the war with Japan and Germany, many of its future allies including Great Britain, Russia, and China, desperately needed assistance. Instituting the “Lend Lease’ policy, Pres FDR agreed to lease ships, tanks, jeeps, and food, with allied payment to follow after the war.

(Middle Photo) Women in Military: Prior to the war, women could only serve the military in nursing and clerical positions. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, however, the military allowed women to serve as pilots and in other new non-combatant roles. Newly established units included the Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service, Women’s Air Force Service Pilots, Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, and several reserve units.

(Bottom Photo) Bond Drive: On the home front during the war, Americans both young and old offered assistance to friends and family members fighting overseas; they raised “Victory Gardens” and held scrap drives. In order to raise money for the war effort, Americans participated in rallies and parades encouraging the sale of War Bonds.
