Homefront Responses in WWII:

Money was raised by American citizens to help fund the war through this effort.
Americans began to raise their own food in order to allow food to be sent overseas to our soldiers
Women enlisted, taking on military jobs like driving trucks, repairing places, etc. Others flew planes, worked as nurses, engineers, chemists and spies
Americans purchased limited supplies of certain products

Americans also rationed food and other resources to ensure they were used efficiently for the war effort. Additionally, citizens contributed to scrap drives, collecting various materials such as metal, rubber, and paper, which were then recycled and used for military purposes. People also volunteered for organizations such as the American Red Cross and the United Service Organizations (USO) to provide support to the troops. The overall response of the American people during WWII showed a strong sense of patriotism and dedication to supporting the war.
