WELCOME! My name is Diane Siniard and I am the coordinator for North Carolina in World War II pages. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or suggestions. There is a search engine available for this site. It is located on the home page for your convenience! There will be a variety of information on World War II in North Carolina added to this site. If there is something you would like to see added to these pages please feel free to send me the information, and or suggestion and I will add it to the site. North Carolina played a significant role in World War II. Approximately 258,000 of its citizens served in the army, 90,000 in the navy, and 13,000 in the marines. Home to twenty-four military installations, North Carolina trained more soldiers than any other state. It also excelled in producing textiles, ships, food, and other goods for the war effort. Outer Banks inhabitants observed blackouts and watched as German U-boats sank Allied ships just offshore. And people across the state did their part by rationing, growing victory gardens, buying war bonds, and volunteering at USOs.
Please send in your Veterans to be added!
