The 'V for Victory' slogan, a powerful symbol of hope and solidarity, is prominently displayed, accompanied by a drawing of a soldier holding a rifle and a flag. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American military during this pivotal time in history. Camp Forrest played a significant role in preparing soldiers for the challenges of the battlefield, and this envelope back is a testament to the unwavering commitment and patriotism that defined the era.
