The White House and World War II
With this issue, as the eightieth anniversary of V-E Day approaches on May 8, 2025, and V-J Day on August 14, 2025, the Quarterly turns to the topic of the White House during World War II.
Our articles take us to the Oval Office for a glimpse of the two presidents who served during the war and one who miraculously survived to serve later, inside the White House to the Map Room, outside to the Victory Garden, across the street to the Stage Door Canteen, and part way around the world to Casablanca.

Fundraising FAQ
Why is the White House Christmas Ornament a good fundraising tool?
The Official White House Christmas Ornaments are a well known and collectible keepsake.
