World War II was an era of great emotions. Families were broken apart, notices of casualties or deaths of loved ones were affecting every community, scarcity of goods was the order of the day and sacrifice for the common good was important. This collection of films highlights the bravery of the soldiers to the homefront and conveyed positive messages to the populace to show that their efforts and sacrifices - sometimes very personal sacrifices - were accomplishing good and valuable things in the world, things they could be proud of being a part of.

Here are the contents of this collection:

This is a stirring film about a soldier in Bataan who is attacked and dies thinking he needs to write a letter to home to explain just how undersupplied the army is in most places and that Americans need to sacrifice a little bit more to ensure the troops are adequately supplied.
