Slide4Like men, women helped the war effort by enlisting in the armed forces as well as contributing on the home front. Most served in the U.S. Nurse Corps stateside and overseas. Approximately 500 women from Texas served as nurses.
Slide5The Lone Star State was a critical training center for thousands of recruits who came to drive, take instruction, or learn to fly. Camp MacArthur in Waco, Camp Bowie in Ft. Worth, Camp Travis in San Antonio, and Camp Logan in Houston all enlisted men for the war. Camp Logan was an emergency training center and housed many soldiers. Many of the camps were located in southern parts of Texas because the climate allowed year-round training.

.
Slide7Rationing was another part of the war effort. Americans avoided eating meat, wheat products, and pork on certain days of the week and cut down on basic foods like fat and sugar. The government used posters like this one to encourage these efforts as well

Slide9Red Cross Volunteers
When the United States declared war on Germany, the American Red Cross was tasked with aiding American servicemen in Europe. The Red Cross provided a way for patriotic men, women and children back home to contribute to war relief. By the end of the war, nearly one-third of all Americans had donated in support of the Red Cross effort or were serving as volunteers. This was a dramatic increase in Red Cross volunteering.
