My Decades Challenge

1941... Will be done in sections as families prepare to send their loved ones off to War. WW2 began in 1939, and the US joined December of 1941 but was in full deployment in 1942. From then to 1945 any teen turning into a Young Adult will be drafted into the war for at least 1 year in service. Then in 1945 those who have been in longer will come home first as their was a point system to whom was discharged to the states between the end of the war and January of 1946 when they began mass demobilization due to disgruntled soldiers. (I am putting "disgruntled soldiers" mildly as there were protests and riots involved due to soldiers wanting to return home)

Before we head to War we have a couple birthdays.

Maximus McDermont becomes an Elder. It's his 50th birthday...

Biscuit actually ages in 1942, but I prematurely aged him early...

Then Paul Johnson turns 50. Ruth got him a car. (this car is the closest I could find to something looking similar to what they had in the 40s, the only difference is this is a smaller version that would be more seen in the 60s).

Lewis spends an hour everyday listening to talk radio on news of the war. And this is Bacon, I just thought he was too cute laying by the FP.

We start with Frances's Family. Due to Steve already being in the military career he was going to be deployed Mid year of 41 as he volunteered to serve and aid the European sector. Since Robert is a YA he enlisted early and Roger took him along to keep a safe eye on him. I sure wish them the best of luck.
Dorothy listens to the radio and "WAR" is soon upon them. Robert walks in in his Uniform and due to Max being left a bit paranoid from the last war he was proud, weirded out, and concerned all at the same time. Dorothy was saddened as she was losing both her brother and husband and feared she may never see either of them again.
