It's Time for Another Nostalgic Sunday!
Today's Nostalgic Sunday is about a writing contest presented by Matilda Butler & Kendra Bonnett at Women's Memoirs.
In honor of the 70th Anniversary of the Rosie the Riveter poster, they are looking for true stories about women during WWII. You may not be able to interview any living female relatives, but hopefully you already know some details, or have other family members you can ask.

(My mother's first husband was killed in WWII and I plan to submit a story about her life during that time.)

Well, I don't think I know much about WW11 survivors, though I may have a story to enter. Thanks always Becky.
ReplyDeleteThose will be cool stories. I don't have one though.
