This film is the result of an Oral History Project conducted by the Hooksett Heritage Commission, featuring older residents of Hooksett relating their experiences during World War II. Hear stories about life as a WWII soldier including a man who was in the Bataan Death March and became a POW for the rest of the war, and a man whose ship was torpedoed and sunk. Learn about what life was like back home during the war: the rationing, the air raid wardens, and the worry, the help which neighbors provided each other and the celebrations when the war finally ended. Come hear the stories of our Greatest Generation as they lived through the country's greatest war!
