In the early 1940s, a house displaying a flag with a wide red border and a blue star signified that the resident family had a member serving in World War II. This wartime icon became the identifying mark for the Northern Indiana Center for History's exhibition "World War II: The Homefront," which explored the impact of the War on cities in the United States. A photograph of women in a welding class was chosen as the main image to underscore how Americans supported the War effort stateside.
