Pearl Harbor Attacks

Helps out in factories as her "duty"

Returns home to no brother though her family was still intact
Judith was apart of the mass group of children coming home to see their families. Most of them could not wait. Though some of them came home to almost nothing. Judith came home to her home still intact but she had no brother, the war had taken away her brother and forced her to live without him. Unfortunately this is the price people had to pay.
