最长的一日 (D-Day)
1944年6月6日
第二次世界大战期间，德国、义大利，与日本都是美国的敌人。有上万名男性与妇女投入这场战争，包括在海外作战，以及在美国本土从事和时间竞赛的工作，包括制造武器、机器，以及募款等。在那个时候，食物、金属，以及汽油都必须以配给方式供应。一般国民在自家辟菜园种菜，并且节省使用所有东西，包括锡箔与发夹等。
美国介入大战的时间相当长，从1941年一直到1945年战争退出才停止。因此，那个时期的音乐作品与电影也都与战争有关。因为有许多男士都必须入伍参战，因此许多妇女就到工厂里工作赚钱。问问你的父母或祖父母，看他们记不记得在战争期间曾经看过相关的电影，例如「萝西与铆钉枪」 (Rosie
and Riveter) 。
During the Second World War, Germany, Italy and Japan were our enemies. The war effort involved thousands of men and women, both fighting abroad and working at home around the clock to build weapons and machines and to raise money. Food, metal, and gasoline were rationed during this time. Ordinary people grew "victory gardens" and saved everything from tin foil to hairpins.
America's involvement in the war lasted a long time--from 1941 to 1945--so music and movies at the time were often about the war. Because so many men were fighting as soldiers, many women worked in factories. Ask your parents or grandparents whether they remember seeing posters from the wartime, like Rosie the Riveter.
