Edgar received a 'purple heart' which is an honor. Women did secretarial work, cooked, and were in the medical forces of the army. C.T. She remembers many other woman working there as well doing jobs such as pipe fitting and welding. Although there were laws for equality, Grace remembers the segregated troops in the war. Although many people say you weren't allowed to talk about the war, Grace remembers her brother, Edgar, writing letters to her about the war.
Grace remembers that air mail started then.
Air mail helped many men and women keep in touch with soldiers over seas. Grace now at the age of 83, lives in Mystic and is a member of the Groton Senior Citizen Center. To me that's very important.
