Why I Serve: Elida Brown

Elida Brown of Montgomery volunteered to serve during World War II.

“I wanted to help and do what I could,” she said. “Everybody was helping in some way.”

She was a school teacher in Corpus Christie, Texas and went to Washington to work on military communication capabilities from 1943 to 1945.

“I think everybody should do their part and accept responsibility. We have to defend our country,” she said. “We’re called the greatest generation and I really think we were.”
