WWII exhibit at the Chapman Museum

Today I visited the Chapman Museum in downtown Glens Falls to take in the wonderful exhibit of War Bond, recruiting and moral-boosting posters. The art work is incredible, as is the emotional impact. There is even a side-display of my father's contribution to the war effort.  Studying his exhibit, the posters, and the 1944 Hometown USA photoessay from LOOK Magazine which is also on display, makes it easier to sense the drama, danger, and sacrifice that existed in Glens Falls and throughout the country during the war's 4 1/2 years. If only Americans today had the same willingness to do what is right and contribute to winning the war against the COVID-19 pandemic and supporting the BLM movement :-(
