Howard B. Leavitt

Listen to the interview:

Howard: "I'll never forget what the War did to the country at large. The country just came together and I never in my life felt such patriotism and people wanting to help the troops…. Before the War started, hitchhiking was 20 minutes; after the war started, the average time to have your thumb out was five seconds. Everybody wanted to help the troops if you had a uniform on. I have never since then felt this unanimity… I'll never forget that sense of pride of being part of the country."
