G.I. JIVE WITH G.I. JILL
Armed Forces Radio Service broadcasts with Jill –Martha Wilkerson– playing the top recordings as
requested by servicemen around the world during WW II. The G.I.s loved her and her “girl-back-
home” sign-off: “Good morning to some of you... good afternoon to some more of you... and to the
rest of you... good night.”
AMERICA on the HOME FRONT Beginning right after the Great Depression
– after suffering great hardship – and looking forward to a brighter future the people of America saw
the expanding war in Europe with many of our allies falling under Nazi domination. .
Skillfully
written and narrated by William B. Williams, Edward Brown and Frank Gorin the story of this great
nation is brought vividly to life for the listener with actual recordings of President Roosevelt,
Winston Churchill, General MacArthur and many others.
This 6 CD set tells the story of World War II
on the American Homefront in a way that clearly explains why Tom Brokaw used the
words “The Greatest Generation” to describe those who grew up in the United States during the Great Depression
and then went to fight in World War II – as well as all that made great sacrifices and
contributions to the war effort from the American Home Front.
