ONLINE – Valentine’s Day During World War II
During the second World War, with war and destruction an everyday part of American life, both soldiers and civilians were trying to keep spirits and hopes up.
This is apparent during the Valentine’s Day season, when many families on the homefront and soldiers on the front lines were missing their loved ones.
Join Virginia War Memorial Assistant Director of Education Crystal Coon as she looks at Valentine’s Day during World War II. Crystal will examine historic love letters and take us back to this difficult time and the personal stories of homesickness that came with years of war and being separated from loved ones.
As always, our livestream programs are free, but advanced registration is required.
