During the Second World War in the USA, the "Hollywood Canteen" ran for three years.
Before "shipping out" to war, troops frequently visited there where the uniform was the ticket.
Good food, dancing, and entertainment were provided.
and not just with anybody.
An image of a soldier who had just been requested to dance by Linda Darnell is seen above.
He is practically being knocked off of his knees.
The female celebrities donated (nearly) everything to make the soldiers' next mission more enjoyable.
Rita Hayworth and Marlene Dietrich are seen here serving the "guys."
The canteen offered nothing for a fee.
Additionally, soldiers from the other allies were permitted to "stop in" there.
The "canteen" was established as a result of Bette Davis's advocacy, and she was president.
Over 3,000 celebrities, actors, directors, producers, grips, dancers, musicians, singers, authors, technicians, dressers, hairdressers, agents, temps, publicists, secretaries, and other radio and television industry professionals had signed up as volunteers by the time the canteen opened its doors.
I believe they gave the warriors a sense of value and of receiving something extremely exceptional.
Prior to the sacrifice, people who were offered as human sacrifices were frequently treated exceptionally well.
So it actually was.
They saw the star up close, got the special, and then might have died on the battlefield.
