The Des Plaines History Center will host a Coffee Talk on Thursday, July 14th at 1:30 pm on “Songs of World War II”. During World War II, American soldiers marched off to battle, rallied their courage, and reflected on life back home through songs. Meanwhile, Americans on the home front kept their spirits up and expressed their solidarity with the troops through music. Join us for a program that examines American life during the Second World War, through live music and anecdotes presented by John and Kathryn Atwood. World War II veterans who have heard this program through Pillars of Honor give the presenters’ song selection an enthusiastic thumbs up!
