They Sang Through The Storm




The USO performers who entertained the troops during WWII may look like a bunch of gals having a good time, but they performed miracles. They gave laughs where there was misery and they took the minds of the soldiers off the grim realities of their lives. They "flashed their gams" and gave out kisses and hugs and winks. They didn't carry guns, nor did they patch up the wounded. But they laughed, sang and danced their way across continents with a single goal in mind.

Bring joy. Bring a moment of happiness, of diversion and, for all the men, remind them that there was beauty and love waiting for them at home.
