 Historical Note

Officially entering the war with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, the United States made important contributions to World War II. The State of North Carolina did her share and more by providing over 370,000 men and women to serve in all theaters of the war and in all branches of the military. Just as in the First World War, the largest number of North Carolinians served in the United States Army, but sizeable numbers served in the Navy, Army Air Corps, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. By the time peace came in September of 1945, some 10,000 lost their the line of duty, while many thousands more were permanently maimed due to combat injuries. On the home front, tens of thousands of Tar Heel civilians aided the war effort by working in vital war industries, purchasing large numbers of war bonds and stamps, raising vast quantities of food, working in important state and federal positions, and by working in various family and troop support activities such as the United Services Organization (USO) and the American Red Cross.
