Despite the attack on Pearl Harbor just three weeks prior, those fighting in World War II still found time for a little Christmas Spirit while in the Armed Forces. This Santa, complete with a sack full of radios, books, cookies and more, greeted soldiers at Camp Lee in Virginia the day before Christmas, December 1941.
Receiving their Christmas packages from loved ones in Italy during December, 1943 are (from left to right) S/Sgt. John F. Suchanek; Pfc. Joseph G. Pierro; Sgt. Charles M. Myrich and Sgt. Leon L. Oben. All are members of F. A. Bn., 3rd Div in Pietramelara, Italy.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve these soldiers came to sing... caroling in Iceland, December 24, 1942 @ Camp Hickham.
