EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of selfless generosity and community support during a pivotal moment in American history. The Red Cross Canteen, located at the intersection of Oio Street and Fulton Avenue in Evansville, Indiana, was a beacon of hope for over a million and a half GIs passing through during World War II. As these brave soldiers were transported to and from the war fronts via railroads, they often arrived with no money and little food. The Red Cross and local volunteers, however, welcomed them with open arms and provided sustenance and support free of charge. Dating back to circa 1942, this image offers a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie and resilience of the American people during a time of great adversity. The Red Cross Canteen served as a second home for these weary soldiers, offering them a brief reprieve from the harsh realities of war. The warm smiles and welcoming atmosphere of the volunteers are palpable, as they served sandwiches, coffee, and words of encouragement to the passing troops. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of community and the human spirit, as well as the crucial role that organizations like the Red Cross played in supporting the troops during World War II. The Red Cross Canteen in Evansville, Indiana, stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment of Americans to care for their military heroes, both at home and abroad.
