WWP's Year of Outreach: Building a New Front Porch |
|
Operation Outreach
Katherine Phillips, an 85-year-old woman from Mobile, Alabama, tells the story of when she was a young married woman and her husband came home from World War II. They lived in a little neighborhood where all the homes were built for GIs. And every night after they put their children to bed, the Phillips and their neighbors would gather on the porch and the young men would exchange stories. The boy next door had ridden with Patton across Europe. The boy across the street went in just after D-Day. Another had been a medic and survived the battles of Europe. Katherine and the other young wives would sit and listen. She describes how by listening to them exchange stories, the wives learned more about their husbands than they had ever known.
