US Veteran
When I enlisted in late November 1942 the pay was $50 per month. We got married in August of 1943 and I don't remember how much the extra allowance was but I do remember that food was pretty scarce toward the end of each month.
You see these food packages being handed out now and it makes me think of the ones that we got. My Mom, Dad, Grandmother and Aunts would usually scrape together some food and get it to us about the third week of the month. I just wish that I had another chance to better express my thanks.
