When considering the impact of the war on communities, Sourthern California takes the prize. As of September 1st, the six counties (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino, & San Diego) encompassing the southern fifth of California have experienced 178 deaths of soldiers. They surpass all other states, with the exception of Texas. Los Angeles County has experienced 72 deaths alone, the most of any county, and more than 40 other state's totals! Los Angeles has experienced 26 deaths, San Diego 11, Long Beach 7, and over 35 other communities from 1 to 5.
Blessings upon Southern California; a place that bears a terrible burden for our freedom; May the loved ones of every man and woman who've entered into the realm of ancestry in this terrible war, know both the sorrow and love of every other citizen of the United States.
