Oral+History+Reflection

Though we learned about the WWII home front in class it was nothing like actually interviewing a person and learning the knowledge as a primary source. Not only did we get to know the WWII home front in more depth we now understand what our grandmothers went through for that time period.

Without every American, the war may not have turned out like it had. Duncan's grandmother is an example of someone who lived in a small town during the war (Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin). From what I could tell from the interview, the people in the town have no objection towards the war in any way. They respected the veterans and understood their job to make the course of the favor the United states. My favorite fact was that my grandmother would eat rabbit instead of chicken on a regular basis.
