EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the essence of patriotism and sacrifice during World War I, as Mrs. J.F. Curtis and Mrs. Wm. Burton stand side by side, holding Liberty Loan posters in support of the war effort in October 1917. Mrs. Curtis, the wife of Assistant Secretary James F. Curtis at the Treasury Department, stands proudly alongside an Italian American woman with three sons fighting in Europe.
The determination and strength radiating from these women is palpable as they campaign for the 2nd Liberty Loan of 1917, a crucial initiative to fund the war overseas. Their unwavering support for their country and loved ones serving on the front lines is evident in their resolute expressions.
In a time when families were torn apart by conflict and uncertainty, these women represent the backbone of resilience and fortitude that sustained communities throughout this tumultuous period in history.
As we reflect on this poignant moment frozen in time by Bain News Service, let us remember the sacrifices made by individuals like Mrs. J.F. Curtis and Mrs. Wm. Burton who selflessly gave their all for a greater cause beyond themselves - a testament to the enduring spirit of unity and solidarity that defines our nation's history during times of crisis.
