I enjoyed learning about Eleanor Roosevelt this week. She had a very interesting life. I thought it was interesting to hear about the things she did and the impact that she had on the world. I think the fact that she was able to be so active in various causes says a lot about her determination. I did not know that she kept in contact with various soldiers who were fighting in the war. I admire her for being willing to be the voice of the soldiers.
I am enjoying Sledge's book. He really gives readers an idea about how horrible the conditions were that these men fought in. I am amazed at how different the condition on the two fronts were (beyond the differences in climate). I can't imagine how difficult it must be to fight an enemy who is hiding in well protected caves and tunnels. The Japanese seem to be fighting with a slight desperate push by this point.

I was also amazed that she was a pen pal to soldiers. I'm sure that having someone to listen to their concerns was helpful. Her involvement was impressive.
