Saturday Evening Post, November 24, 1945

In September of 1945, World War Two would officially end, bringing hundreds of thousands of soldiers home. Looking into all of the Saturday Evening Post Covers from 1945, including this special edition Thanksgiving cover, we can see the sheer optimism and relief of the returned veterans and their families. However, The Post and its advertisers were aware of this new audience of returning veterans. In this issue of the Post, we can see an insurance company offering jobs to Veterans who may have had unstable lives before heading to War.
