-------------What We Did! Seems Impossible!Carefully study this artwork. Then, read what we did.Not only is the picture awesome, but so are the statistics!During the 3-1/2 years of World War II that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor
in December of 1941 and ended with the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945,"We the People of the U.S.A. " produced the following:22 aircraft carriers8 battleships48 cruisers349 destroyers420 destroyer escorts203 submarines34 million tons of merchant ships100,000 fighter aircraft98,000 bombers24,000 transport aircraft58,000 training aircraft93,000 tanks257,000 artillery pieces105,000 mortars3,000,000 machine guns and2,500,000 military trucksWe put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa,
invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day,
marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and, ultimately,
conquered Japan and Germany.
It's worth noting that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama Administration
couldn't even build a web site that worked!
