EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 greetings card from the 1940s is a true piece of history, encapsulating the spirit of hope and luck during wartime. The small card features a red, white, and blue ribbon adorning the top, symbolizing patriotism and unity in the face of adversity. The centerpiece of the card is a ship made out of wood, a nod to naval strength and resilience. The message "Touch Wood!" conveys a sense of superstition and belief in good fortune, urging the recipient to seek luck by physically touching wood. In times of war, such gestures held great significance as people clung to any semblance of positivity amidst chaos. As we reflect on this artifact from World War II, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for freedom and peace. This simple yet heartfelt gesture serves as a reminder that even in dark times, there is always room for optimism and faith in better days ahead. The March of Women Collection has preserved this precious piece of memorabilia as a testament to the enduring human spirit that perseveres through hardship. Let us touch wood for luck and honor those who bravely faced uncertainty with unwavering determination during one of history's most challenging periods.
