I just love this era! The kids can still relate to it as well, as they usually have a grandparent or great grandparent in their family who was involved in the war! I encouraged the kids to do some research on their own; one of the girls, Sarah, found this guide: 'Important People of World War II'
www.truepeoplesearch.com/resources/important-people-of-world-war-ii

Everyone loved it - including me. I even learned a couple of things. I was wondering if you could include a link to it somewhere on your page for me? If there is anything that I've learned in my years of working with the youth, it's that encouragement is such a powerful thing! I'd love to show Sarah she's helping others out there. Maybe she'll even get some extra credit from her teacher?"
