War bonds, also called Liberty bonds, or Victory bonds are debt sold by the govenment to fund military operations, essentially a loan to the govenment to help fund the war. The bond price back with interest to the buyer.<\/p>\n

During WWII, over 85 million American bought bonds in order to help the war effort.<\/p>\n

Artist Jay Connaway and his wife, Louise, left the island for war work in Berwick, Pennsylvania. \u201cWe both give 10% of our salary for war bonds, which almost all the workers do–then the Govt. is now going to take 5% in taxes from our salaries for a Victory tax–then with the income tax in Feb. well, don\u2019t know where we will be.\u201d<\/em> Letter from Louise Connaway to Warner Taylor. January 5, 1943.<\/span><\/p>\n
