Mollie's War: The Letters of a WWII WAC in Europe
Mollie's War: The Letters of a WWII WAC in Europe
Author and presenter Cyndee Shaffer uses excerpts from her mother’s letters written home during WWII to provide a romantic yet frightful glimpse into the life of a woman in uniform during this crucial time in history. Cyndee will detail her mother’s experiences from basic training in 1943 to a dramatic image of seeing the Statue of Liberty in the midst of darkness in November 1945 when she returned home.
