has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">For our nation, World War II began in December 1941 and ended in September 1945, with the final surrender of Japan. 16 million Americans served in uniform and more than 400,000 lost their lives in this epic war.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Millions of women played a critical role in helping attain America\u2019s victory, serving their country here at home and on foreign soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">All told, 350,000 women served in the United States Armed Forces. 19 million filled needed jobs in the workforce at home with 12 million working in the defense industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">These true patriots received Distinguished Service Medals, Purple Hearts, Presidential Unit Citations and Bronze Stars, all for helping in the battle against the enemy overseas while far too often battling stereotypes and discrimination here at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">History knows them as WACS and WAVES, Women Marines and SPARs, WASPs and World War II nurses, Rosie the Riveters and volunteers with the Red Cross, USO, Salvation Army, YMCA and YWCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">We honor their service and
