I Was at a Football Game at Hinchcliffe Stadium, Paterson, New Jersey with my dad and cousin when the announcement was made at the one PM Kick off. I didn't see my cousin again until 1946.

My uncle retired from the Navy in 1939. That was a short lived retirement, he spent the war in the South Pacific.

The Japanese invasion sealed the fate of the rubber tree plantations which the Japanese now controlled in 1941.

The U.S. with their ingenuity created synthetic rubber and they could shove those natural rubber sources as far as they could shove them.
